Updated: March 1, 2008
Ingredients:
• 1 cup almond flour (best without the skins, in this case)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 2 Tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
• 2 Tablespoons Agave
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons rum extract
• Artificial sweetener to taste - about 1/2 cup of sweetening power
Preparation:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together in bowl.
2. Add vanilla and rum extract. If the artificial sweetener is liquid and concentrated, add it to the extract. Since there are different liquid sweeteners of different concentrations, you may have to play with the total amount of liquid, and cut down on the liquor, or add water. Usually the total liquid you want is about 2.5 to 3 Tablespoons. Add the liquid slowly and mix until it all comes together.
3. Roll into balls. The flavors will mellow over the next few days. Store in covered container in refrigerator or cool place.
Carbs depend on serving size. 17 balls will get you exactly 1 gram of effective carbohydrate per ball, plus a tad over a gram of alcohol and 1.5 grams of fiber.
