Last year at my June Women's Wellness Retreat in Tuscany, I made these truffles as the Welcome gift for everyone attending!
Research suggests (as if we didn't know already) Cacao/cocoa (and dark chocolate) has been shown to have a range of psychological effects, including enhanced arousal, cognitive function, and stimulation of feelings of wellbeing and euphoria!
Cacao and cocoa contain prebiotic goodness which the bacteria in your stomach gobble up and ferment into anti-inflammatory compounds.
Maria Moore from the American Chemical Society says “The good microbes, such as Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, feast on chocolate; When you eat dark chocolate, they grow and ferment it, producing compounds that are anti-inflammatory.”
Fantastic, prebiotic goodness and a fabulous tasting, fudgy chocolate truffle!
