Healthy Rich Nutella Truffles

My puppy boy is 4 months old now! There’s many advantages to having a puppy grow up and not just because they are potty trained.

Enzo is gaining more energy and stays awake for more than a couple hours at a time. It’s fun to take longer outings. Usually, he only needed about 10 minutes strolling around in the morning and he was set to sleep until the afternoon. This last weekend, I tested his limits. We walked up hills and ran a little bit and I actually broke a sweat. I knew he would definitely sleep afterwards, but he did great at keeping up! When we came home and had a good drink of water, Enzo collapsed on the floor for a nice snooze.

Then I got myself a snack.

Honestly, just having exercised is the best time to treat yourself with an indulgent Nutella treat! These dessert truffles were delicious! These bites are the best of both worlds – they are filled with healthy ingredients that are actually good for you!! I love the strong hazelnut flavor with that punch of protein and the lovely pile of melted dark chocolate over each bite. They have a nice balance of sweetness, making the justification for a post workout snack or a morning treat a little more encouraging!
