Throw 3 cups of popcorn, 1 banana, 4 pitted Medjool dates, and a tablespoon of peanut butter into a blender and mix. “Pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs and sticks together,” shared Pavia.
Remove the mixture from the blender and place it in a bowl. Using your fingers, form small balls with the mixture. “Place the balls in the freezer for 15 minutes to help the chocolate coating set faster,” added Pavia. Next, take the balls out of the fridge and coat them in melted dark chocolate. Pavia’s popcorn truffles seem to have some popcorn sprinkled on top of the chocolate coating as well, so you can try doing this if you’re an ardent fan of all things popcorn. According to the healthy recipe enthusiast, these treats can either be consumed immediately or kept in the fridge for up to a week.
With that said, despite how healthy the popcorn truffle ingredients are, there are some things to keep in mind before trying out this recipe. After all, healthy desserts are about both moderation and the quality of ingredients.
