Could be improved
I ended up making this recipe and another one that was cream cheese based. The Avocado one did not have much flavor (or sweetness of course) so it ended up being a bit bland for a dessert. Healthier than most and vegan. It was hard to get them in ball form, maybe because I froze them too much. It reminded me of mochi balls because of the lack of sweetness and bland flavor, but nice texture. I would probably recommend combining this recipe with the over-sweet cream cheese one so you would get part of the healthier and cut the sweetness. Bottom line, I think most people may not enjoy this as much as a "regular" dessert.

different, but good!
Don't tell anyone that they are made with avocado if you want them to try these! I added 4 Tablespoons of Maple syrup after reading another review that said they weren't very sweet. I really like them! Using a small bowl to heat the chocolate gave me problems in turning the balls to coat them, and the chocolate coating ended up too thick! I then tried heating the chocolate in a small stainless frying pan,over very low heat and that gave me the space to roll the balls and get them coated with the amount of chocolate I wanted.

Elegantly decadent
This is a great recipe all around, easy to make, healthy and flavorful. The key is melting the chocolate correctly and coating the balls with a thin layer, otherwise you will taste the chocolate more than the avocado mixture. Definitely a healthy fats treat, and great treat for kids too!
