Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
“Peanut butter is the glue that holds my life together”.
It’s time to get back to reality after having a few days off for Easter. We are not far from May-month though which means that summer and warm weather only means one thing - cold desserts and treats of course! That is the reason why I today want to show you these small peanut butter balls which are simply A-MAZING.
”Protein rich and yummy”!
By only using 4 ingredients you can make these small fantastic chocolate and peanut butter balls. They’re very simple to make, and just as simple to eat thereafter. ;) My hubby ate one of these every time he opened the fridge. “Protein rich and yummy!” was what he said, and I guess that is actually true"!
Organic peanut butter is what I use
Yes, I always use organic peanut butter to all of my creations. You can buy either creamy or crunchy peanut butter but in this recipe I have used a creamy one.
Chocolate and peanut butter balls
approx 10-12 pieces
INGREDIENTS:
150 g creamy peanut butter*
1 tbsp coconut oil
40 g agave syrup or honey
100 g dark chocolate
+ chopped peanuts
HOW TO MAKE:
Mix your peanut butter, coconut oil and agave to a creamy texture. Place in the fridge (or freezer) for approx 10' so it sets.
Roll bolls of the dough and place them in the fridge for 30' or in the freezer for 10'. The reason we do this is so that the balls won't fall apart when we dip them in the chocolate.
Melt your chocolate over water bath. Dip thereafter your balls, one at a time, in the chocolate. Spread over some chopped peanuts and let set on a baking sheet. Preferably have them stored in the fridge until serving so they keep firm and set.
NOTES:
If your peanut butter is unsalted, also add a pinch of sea salt.
