Ingredients
- ¼ cup almond butter or all-natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon of pure maple syrup
- Optional chocolate sauce version: ½ cup of chocolate chips melted in microwave safe dish.
Instructions
- Mix the almond butter and powdered sugar together in a bowl until it's a little crumbly. (add a little more powdered sugar if it is still kind of loose.
- Roll the dough in your hands until it is thoroughly blended.
- Pick off about 1 inch pieces of dough and roll into 8 little balls and place them on a cookie sheet.
- Press them flat with your fingers and shape them into oval of egg shapes.
- Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Then mix the melted coconut oil, cocoa powder and maple syrup together in a bowl until it looked like chocolate syrup. OR use the optional method of ½ cup of chocolate chips melted in a microwave safe dish.
- Remove the frozen almond butter and roll it in the chocolate syrup. I did this as fast a possible -- 2 at a time because they start to get soft quick. You can leave the others in the freezer as you do a couple at a time as well if you prefer.
- I just used a fork to turn them over in the chocolate syrup and place them back on the cookie sheet in the freezer to harden.
