The holiday season is in full swing. Are you feeling the rush? This year, I am trying my hardest to stay ahead of the game. I have my holiday cards done, my shopping lists are made, and I might just have some menu items planned. I know for dessert, I will be making these Creamy Dark Chocolate Coconut Truffles.
Truffles are a holiday tradition for us. Every year it is my duty to bring chocolate truffles to my mom’s Christmas Eve party. Typically, I usually make cookie ball truffles, but wanted something different this year. Then it hit me, why not make some creamy coconut truffles?
I have this awesome macaroon cup recipe my aunt passed down that everyone loves. These truffle centers are actually very similar to that recipe, but instead of being baked in a filo dough shell, they get enveloped in dark chocolate.
Since we all love chocolate, I headed to Shaw’s to pick up some ingredients for a test run.
Shaw’s Supermarket is my favorite grocery store because they have a vast variety of organic foods. I love their baking aisle which features the very affordable O Organics® line of foods. For this recipe, I picked up some O Organics Organic Shredded Coconut & O Organics Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract which were each a great value.
I frequently buy O Organics foods at Shaw’s because I love the prices, quality, and freshness.
You can also find O Organics at all of the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Star Market, United Express, United and Carrs/Safeway. Visit here to find a store near you and discover more meal prep tips and recipe ideas.
One of my favorite ways to save at Shaw’s besides their everyday low prices is the MyMixx app. I love their Saturday Morning Samplers, and the savings I can get on my favorite products and brands.
So now that you know why I love shopping at Shaw’s let’s get back to this tasty holiday recipe. A few things I wanted to share about these truffles are that this recipe makes 15 truffles. You can easily double or triple this recipe though for larger crowds.
These truffles keep well for up to a week in a storage container in the refrigerator. However, you can also freeze them!! They are soo stinking good semi-frozen.
Most important of all, come prepared with the recipe for your guests. They are all going to LOVE these Creamy Dark Chocolate Coconut Truffles! You can scroll below and print a few copies because if your guests love chocolate & coconut they will flip for these truffles!

Since  Shaw’s is a one-stop shop for all of my holiday baking needs, with more than 400 USDA-certified O Organics products in nearly every aisle, what else should I create for the holiday season? Which baking or dessert recipe do you think my guests would enjoy?Â
