Tigernut Butter Granola Truffles are a decadent piece of chocolate. These tasty melty treats are perfect for any time. Consequently,  make them for any occasion or holiday. Just add them to a different mold. Perfect for an Easter Basket, Halloween Party treats, Christmas, Valentine’s, Baby Shower, or Bridal Shower. In fact, these tasty treats will remind you of the days of yore when most grandmother’s made homemade treats for their grandchildren. A creamy chocolate center with crunchy granola is a treat for any time.  Tigernut Granola in a bag and Tigernut Spread in a jar with chocolate bunnies, hearts, and large chocolate chips.

Tigernut Butter Granola Truffles

Indeed, these tigernut treats pack a big chocolatey punch. The centers are creamy with bits of granola inside. Tigernuts have been eaten for centuries. Furthermore, eaten and used medicinally in ancient Egypt.

Nevertheless, I was gifted some very tasty Tigernut Spread and Tigernut Granola from Natureul.com. I waited anxiously for my package. As soon as it arrived I opened up the Granola and was so over the moon happy when it was so delicious. I immediately thought of this recipe. I couldn’t wait to make it.

Obviously, it made me think of Easter. I don’t know why, but it did. Hippity-hoppity Easter is on its way. Evidently, Spring is here. Of course, it doesn’t appear to be where I am, as we are still getting snow. Not to mention, I get to be that grandma who makes my grandchildren homemade candy.

What is a Tigernut:

Tigernuts are not actually a nut. Needless to say, they are a tuber. They are grown in Africa and Spain. Another name for Tigernuts is Earth Almonds. Making them perfect for those who are allergic to nuts or even peanuts. Consequently, they help aid the body in digestion. It should be noted, they are high in nutrients. Believe it or not, but they are nut-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, allergen-free, Non-GMO, lactose-free, cholesterol free, low in fat, high in fiber, prebiotic, paleo, whole 30, AIP, Vegan, Vegetarian, raw food, contain anti-inflammatories, and no celiac issues. They contain micronutrients such as vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

They are sweet and nutty and taste similar to a nut. According to research, they taste like sweet potatoes and pecans.

Chef Notes:

Place chocolates into the freezer for less breakage of certain chocolate molds. Be careful when removing chocolate from the molds. Incidentally, I broke the ears off of several of my bunny truffles chocolates. However, the ones I froze were easier to remove. Tap the large Chocolate Chip mold on the counter to allow the chocolate to reach the tips. 

Be careful and watch where the steam is when using a double boiler. Please note that depending on what size mold will determine how many servings are made. The recipe makes 4.7 ounces.
