First, drain and rinse the black beans
Next, place the black beans, the Carb Killa® spread, vanilla extract and sweetener in a large food processor and blend until it's mixed into a smooth consistency
Add in the protein powder, cocoa powder and coconut flour and blend until a soft 'dough' is formed
Then, take the 'dough' out of the bowl/blender and wrap in cling film. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to chill and firm
Once firm, divide the 'dough' into approximately 16 balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place back in the fridge to set
While they set, melt your white chocolate - you can use a bain-marie to do this. Add the coconut oil to the melting white chocolate and stir until smooth
Once the chocolate has cooled slightly, coat the set truffles in the chocolate. Place the truffles back on the parchment paper and into the fridge for 10 minutes or until the chocolate has set
After your truffles are set, use the left over melted chocolate to stick on the edible sugar eyes. Drizzle any leftover chocolate over the top of the truffles to finish
