Ingredients
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (180g) creamy & salted
- 1/4 cup honey (84g)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour (64g)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate coating:
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate melting wafers (60g)
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (60g)
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter, honey, coconut flour, vanilla and salt to a medium bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Line a small 9x13 sheet pan (or flat plate) with parchment paper. Use a greased 1 Tbsp scoop to scoop a heaping tablespoon (~20g) of dough onto the baking sheet. You should get about 15.
- Grease palms with nonstick spray and roll into balls, shape and smooth as needed. Place balls in the freezer/fridge to chill and set while you melt the chocolate (If at any point the dough is too sticky you can place it in the fridge to make it easier to work with).
- Add chocolate chips and melting wafers to a heat safe bowl. Melt chocolate in the microwave in 15-second bursts stirring in between (or over a double boiler). Stir until melted and smooth.
- Gather the peanut butter balls and two forks. Working one at a time, place a ball on one fork and dip into the chocolate. Use the other fork to help coat. Let extra chocolate drip off and place back on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat for all the balls then place in the fridge/freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
Store in an airtight freezer-safe bag in the freezer.
