These homemade truffles feature just pistachio butter, honey, chocolate chips, and coconut oil! There my homemade version of the Lindt Lindor Pistachio Chocolate Truffles for a significantly lower cost. It's kinda like a cross between Ohio Buckeye Balls and Dubai Chocolate.

FILLING
- 1/2 cup (128 g) Pistachio butter
- 2 tbsp (42 g) Honey
- 1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla extract

COATING
- 1/2 cup (90 g) Chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp (7 g) Extra virgin coconut oil

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and place a wire rack on top

2. Mix together pistachio butter, honey, and vanilla with a silicone spatula in a medium bowl to form a dough

3. Scoop the dough and roll into 10 balls, about 17 g each. Freeze for 10 minutes

4. In a medium bowl, microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until you have a smooth melted chocolate

5. Using 2 forks, coat the pistachio dough in the chocolate, and add to the wire rack. Repeat with all the truffles

6. Chill for 30 minutes to harden
