1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 0.25
0 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 0.25
0 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 2.25

Directions

Finely chop the unsweetened bakers chocolate and place in a medium bowl with the Splenda.

The next day roll out 36 balls by the tablespoonful in the palm of your hand. Place them on a wax paper lined sheet pan so they do not stick.
