These raw vegan chocolate orange energy balls are small but mighty! You can whip them up in fifteen minutes, there no bake for minimal fuss and can be stored in the fridge for when hunger strikes.
Feel free to sub the nuts in the recipe for whatever you have in the cupboard. Roasted hazelnuts, blanched almonds, or Brazil nuts works well.
The Truvia For Baking Brown sweetener with a hint of molasses gives a warm brown sugar-like taste but is completely refined sugar free. Life has never tasted so sweet.
