Once the chocolate has melted, stir in some butter and continue to cook until completely melted. You can also use some coconut oil instead of butter. Adding some form of fat will give you a rich flavor of melted chocolate you can easily shape into balls later. Three tablespoons of Zen Spirit chia seeds will give these truffles a delicious touch and boost some nutrients as well.
