Notes
- Vanilla extract: Use natural vanilla extract for the best flavor. Just a few drops will enhance the flavor of these peanut butter bon bons.
- Sea salt: If the peanut butter you use is unsalted, you may want to add a pinch to enhance the flavors. You can also sprinkle each vegan chocolate peanut butter truffle with a bit of flaky sea salt. They’ll look beautiful, have a little crunch, and taste great!
- Graham crackers: Instead of using puffed rice cereal, you could create peanut butter balls with graham crackers.
- Peanut butter protein balls: Instead of the powdered sugar or flours mentioned above, you could thicken the peanut butter mixture with your favorite plain or vanilla protein powder. The chocolate peanut butter protein balls make for an excellent pre or post-workout snack!
