Ingredients
Peanut Butter Balls
- ¾ cup organic peanut butter smooth or crunchy
- ¼ cup honey
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- pinch of Real Salt
Chocolate Coating
- 4 ounces bitter chocolate about 1 heaping cup of dark chocolate chips
- Real Salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey, coconut flour, and salt. Stir until a dough forms that is easy to handle and roll into balls.
- Note: You may need to 1 T of coconut flour to the mixture, if needed to get the right texture for rolling.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll the dough between your hands to make 1” balls. Place the balls on a pan lined with parchment paper. Put them in the freezer to set until firm, about 20 minutes.
- When the peanut butter balls feel firm to the touch, melt the chocolate over low heat.
- Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, insert a toothpick to make the dipping process easier. Dip each one into the melted chocolate mixture, coating each one to match the image above. Top the chocolate with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt, if desired. Return the chocolate-covered balls to the parchment paper. The chocolate should start to harden right away, but you can place them in the fridge or freezer to set completely.
- Serve cold, from the fridge to keep the chocolate firm. These should keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
