Step 1 - Salted Almond Butter Truffles
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond butter and the maple syrup until well combined. Add in the almond flour and salt, and mix until thickened.

Step 2 -
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, roll out the mixture into small balls, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 4 hours (or overnight).

Step 3 -
Once the truffle centers are chilled firm, prepare the chocolate coating. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, and stir until smooth.
-
Step 4 -
Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, rolling until completely covered. Using a fork, remove the truffle from the chocolate, and return to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles are coated, chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has set.
