And, we couldn't talk about chocolate without leaving you with a staff-favorite recipe. This is an amazingly easy recipe with just three ingredients: chocolate chips, cocoa powder and AVOCADO! Who knew avocado could be SO GOOD with chocolate! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

**Dark Chocolate Avocado Truffles**   
 Recipe originally posted on,  [Not Your Average College Food](http://notyouraveragecollegefood.com/).   
 ​ **Makes 18 to 20**

**Ingredients**

 1 medium avocado   
 10 ounces dark chocolate chips, divided   
 ​2 tablespoons cocoa powder   
 ​   
**Instructions**   
 Cut avocado and scoop out flesh. Use a fork, an electric hand mixer, or a food processor to mash the avocado until there are no more chunks.Roughly chop 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Set aside.Use a microwave to melt the rest of the chocolate chips. I recommend microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted.Scoop avocado mixture into the bowl with melted chocolate and mix until well-blended. Then, stir in the chocolate chip bits.Refrigerate the chocolate-avocado mixture for an hour.Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball using your palms. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.Put the cocoa powder on a separate plate or in a shallow bowl. Roll the balls in the cocoa powder until they're completely covered.
