Ingredients

Peanut Butter Balls:
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegans)
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • Pinch of sea salt
Chocolate Coating:
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (about 1 heaping cup of dark chocolate chips)
  • coarse sea salt , for topping (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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. You can add another tablespoon of coconut flour to the mixture, if needed to get the right texture for rolling.
  2. Scoop the dough by tablespoons and roll the dough between your hands to make balls. Place the balls on a pan lined with parchment paper, then put them in the freezer to set until firm, about 20 minutes.
  3. When the peanut butter balls feel firm to the touch, melt the chocolate. (I use a double boiler to do this on my stove, but you can use the microwave if you prefer in 30 second intervals.)
  4. Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and dip each one into the melted chocolate mixture, coating each one thoroughly. Top the chocolate with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt, if desired. (Work quickly, as the chocolate will harden soon.) 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.
  5. 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.
