Chocolate Pumpkin Spice MeeNut Butter Truffles
Well that’s a mouth full. Literally. Hahahahah. I’m funny. No but seriously, if you love nut butters, then you HAVE to try Paleo MeeNut Butter. It’s fantastic. Especially the Pumpkin kind. Um BOMB. And everything is made to order and comes in great jars. I love jars.
Guess what, guess what?! I go to Boston soon. Yep, back to Boston again. But this time I’ll be in the kitchen cooking for actual people. Instead of just a camera crew. Meaning two people. Remember the last time I went to Boston? No? It’s cool. Well, last time I was there, I shot a bunch of cooking videos with Again Faster. If you didn’t know, I write articles for them from time to time. And sometimes, cooking videos. When I look back now, I am disappointed with my paleness in those videos. This time, I’m making sure that doesn’t happen. Bronzing it up. Jersey Shore style. I’m kidding. Not really.
I hope this time I get to try more Boston food. Instead of just my own. My own is boring.
Omg. I got a Blendtec. What do I even start to make in this thing?! So many possibilities. It says I can even make baby food! I don’t know why I would ever make that, but I could!! NBD. I think I may start with ice cream. I have an ice cream maker that’s pretty much the coolest gift I’ve ever received from a reader, but now I can make two different batches of ice cream, AT THE SAME TIME! Oh lord, what flavors do I even start with!? So.many.options. I need ice cream. I’ve been craving frozen yogurt bad.
Have you guys seen this forever lazy thing? I don’t dig it. Who ever has that hard of a time with a blanket? Or who doesn’t like blankets? Blankets are by far one of my favorite things in this world. Right next to food. And men. Naaaaa, just right next to food. Food and blankets means the world is good. And food will always cuddle you back. Fact.
I’m a straight up teenage girl. As you can probably tell. But it’s proof in my love for this song. Embarrassing.
PrintChocolate Pumpkin Spice MeeNut Butter Truffles
- Yield: 20 1x
Ingredients
For the truffles
- 1 (8 ounce) jar of Paleo Pumpkin MeeNut Butter**
- 3 tablespoons coconut butter
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
For the chocolate coating
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Optional toppers
- Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- Coarse Sea Salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients for your truffles in the food processor and mix until well combined and slightly sticky. It should come together in a ball of goodness.
- Roll your truffle mixtures into small balls. Really whatever size you would like to eat or share with friends. But truffle size is the smartest size.
- Place on a plate and into the freezer to harden for an hour or more.
- Once truffles are hard, melt your chocolate and coconut oil together. I used the microwave but you could use a double boiler if you like that idea better. Use a shallow mug or glass that will make dipping your balls easy. Tall, thin ones are a bad idea.
- Once your chocolate is melted, use a spoon to drop in your truffle and coat with the chocolate, then place on parchment paper. Immediately top with chocolate chunk, coconut, sea salt or cocoa powder or whatever suits your fancy.
- Repeat with all truffles.
- Once truffles are done, place in freezer to set. Remove 5 minutes from freezer before serving to your guests to make them easy to bite into. And be ready to be the star of the show. These are delish. Only dumb house guests wouldn’t like them.
Notes
This made 18-20 truffle sized balls. I wouldn’t know because I was snacking while making.
**Pumpkin is a seasonal flavor. Feel free to try their other flavors if that’s not available!

Can you just wrap up some extras and send them to me?!? 😉 I’m lazy.
When you are in Boston come visit Reebok Crossfit Back Bay for a WOD!!
Might wanna hit up CrossFit Southie too. We have a bunch of the Again Faster people. Just ask someone they will bring you over. Bring some Colorado sunshine with you too!
I made your other truffles for the holidays and they looked just like these. Except I ROLLED them in coconut and they looked like cute little dirty snowballs. DEELISH! Whats meenut? I take it we have to order it on line?
I just saw those Forever Lazy things the other night while watching tv. I thought they were interesting since they zipped up the front…….until I saw that they were too lazy to unzip the front to go to the bathroom. They fricking have zippers in the back of them to go to the bathroom! Sick! No thank you. I love to be lazy, but not that kind of lazy. This recipe looks awesome btw.
Blendtec blenders are amazeballs. If you haven’t already seen this, check it out: http://www.willitblend.com/ – you know, just in case you ever had the urge to throw your smartphone in there. Yes, it will blend.
Please give us a thorough report on your Boston trip when you return. I work here and would love to hear about any fun spots you hit up/good places to eat/etc.
You’re going to love your blendtec!! Once you’ve had a smoothie that’s as smooth as a blendtec smoothie, you will never be able to go back to regular blenders again. It even gets kale completely pulverized!
My friends and I will see you in Boston for the cooking classes and can’t wait! If you need great food in Boston, you can always come to my kitchen 🙂 http://www.sooopaleo.blogspot.com for a preview!
Why must you taunt all of the poor people on sugar detox/whole30 in january? *sniffles* I miss chocolate! 🙁
can I use sunbutter??
yes ma’am!!
I just bought myself a Blendtec last night for my upcoming birthday 🙂 I hope you’ll showcase some recipes you make in it! It looks like you can do practically anything in it. I’m stoked to get it!
When you’re in Boston, you MUST go to Ten Tables in Jamaica Plain- best burger EVER. It will change your life, I promise.
FYI The links in your recipe are not working. Thanks for the great recipes. 🙂
WIll the truffles suffer irrecoverably if I eat half of the jar?
Ahh the perils of baking with delcious ingredients
can i even express how excited i got when i saw you were coming to boston, tried to sign up for the class and got waitlisted. talk about a roller coaster of emotions. I live an hour away but i would so gladly travel to see my paleo idol!!!
Juli your class already sold out! I would have loved to go, but I’ll have to wait for the recap instead. Good luck and have fun!
I <3 my Blendtec! I use it instead of a food processor when I can! Also – this dessert looks DELISH!
Thank you for these beautiful looking nuggets Juli! If you get a chance to swing by Reebok CrossFit One! Austin & company would love to have you! You make our lives a whole lot better b/c of your site so thank you and safe travels!
Made frozen banana/yogurt/coconut milk ice cream last night to have with paleo blondie muffin.
Vitamix+ICmaker=instant yum!
Also make these type of truffles all the time. So perfect. Here, no stifling the sweet tooth, ever.
OH.EM.GEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! those look amazeballs!
Someone needs to explain MeeNut…I can’t find what it is from your blog…unless I’m blind?
Thanks!
the link is in the first paragraph of my blog. its a mixed nut nut butter!
I am so freaking excited to take you class in Boston!!!! And I just got a vitamix– can’t wait for fun blender recipes on the blog!
can’t wait to meet you!
Juli, LOVE your blog. I know it’s January but you should head on down the Cape, yeah I know it’s cold, but you can still sit in your car and look at the ocean, right? Anyway, there’s a bunch of us down here who love your blog and would love to meet you. Just throwing it out there.
i’ll keep that in mind!!
girl, you’re trying to kill me. just looking at this truffle recipe gave me a foodasm.
i have a vitamix so i think that’s like a blendtec. the texture of everything i make is amazing. you HAVE to make a cheesecake filing in it. i made one for xmas with macadamias, lemon juice, coconut oil, vanilla bean, and honey. omg i think i ate cheesecake for dinner every night after that. it was the bomb.
How awesome! I would so love to try some. I am sure they taste amazing.

Those look AMAZING!
Why you gotta break my heart like that?! These look so awesome, I was almost in tears (I know, get a life), then I discovered MeeNut doesn’t deliver to Australia! 🙁
The link doesn’t work. Where do you get the Pumpkin Meenut Butter?
You get it from here:
http://meeeatpaleo.com/
Just quietly, I don’t think any of the links I’ve clicked on on this site have worked – maybe this should be looked into?
Thanks JFo, trying to figure it out!
Please come to Crossfit New England when you visit! Fellow Again Faster athlete Kevin Montoya is there 🙂
oh i love Kevin!! fingers crossed i’ll have time!
I wish I could go to that event! I go to school in Boston and you’re my favorite paleo blogger. Maybe next time 🙁
also you’re killing me with all of these delicious recipes. dorm life = no kitchen = no fun.
you are so fancy! you should have a section for peeps on a budget (i.e. not gonna splurge on meenut butter or coconut cream concentrate, etc…). The magic brownies are the bomb, tho. they’re magic like jet fuel.
First of all – I SO appreciate the humor in your blogs. I seriously think, “This is exactly how I talk in my head,” for most of the posts I read. I’ve been laughing (or quietly chuckling) at my desk for the last 5 minutes.
Secondly, Let’s talk about this Blendtec. You have one, I don’t. I’m jealous. good talk
Lastly, I can’t wait to try these truffles. I’m obessed with PB, anything pumpkin, and my husband loves chocolate. I think we have a winner. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, I used to work at the place you’re giving the class! Their kitchen is awesome:) I wish I could come take the class.
I’m SOOO bummed! The pumpkin MeeNut butter is sold out until NEXT FALL!!! Waaaa!!!!!! I was really excited about these tasty lil balls. Maybe I’ll make my own mixed nut nut butter?? I just gotta have these lil balls in my mou…anyway, just want em.
I just found this recipe and was ready to order the pumpkin MeeNut butter Stat and am Super sad it’s out!! I don’t want to wait until next season. :pout:
drea – you can make your own coconut cream concentrate (coconut butter), all you need is a food processor and shredded coconut.
I might have to have a go at my own MeeNut butter, I’m also in Australia 🙁
What can you substitute for the “Paleo Pumpkin MeeNut Butter” if I can’t find it where I am?
almond butter or any other nut butter would be just fine!
Def a win with the huz and coworkers!! subbed in PB and tasted fan-f-ing-tastic!

It does make dipping my balls easier
