Healthy Chocolate Truffles

After a long period where most of us indulged in anything that contained more than «a thousand hundredweight of sugar», it is time to enjoy a sweet very different.
For the beginning of the year, in 2016 the first post of Kitchen Stories proposes an idea of chocolate truffles, with raw ingredients and no sugar. The joy of pleasure without remorse and the lighter feeling of dessert.
Bright aromas of orange and cocoa, with a sour aftertaste from the juice of orange and cranberries. Dried fruits that are used are very tasty and quite sweet. This is why sugar was replaced here by a spoonful of stevia and this is optional because some people can and do not need this extra sweetness.
