Who doesn't love to indulge in dark chocolate every once in a while? Chocolate peanut butter balls were always a staple for my family around the holidays. However, they were definitely loaded with sugar. This is a healthier take on that same treat. Made with coconut flour and sweetened with pure maple syrup, these are just as tasty. They're perfect for holidays--or just when you're craving chocolate and peanut butter (aka--all the time if you're me.)
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy all-natural, peanut butter
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips (60% + Cacao)
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine peanut butter, coconut flour, maple syrup and cornstarch until a dough forms
- Wash hands and shape dough into 18-20 one inch balls, place on baking sheet
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes
- After balls are thoroughly chilled, melt chocolate and coconut oil together (30 seconds at a time, stirring in between)
- Remove balls from the refrigerator, dip into the chocolate (using a fork) and completely coat with chocolate.
- Return ball to baking sheet, repeat until finished with the remaining peanut butter balls
- (Add decorations for fun)
- Refrigerate for 1 hour
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator
- ENJOY!
