Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls .
{Homemade Halloween treat ideas!?}
makes about 22 balls
Filling Ingredients:
1.5 cups almond meal, or finely ground raw almonds (blend or process the almonds – measure AFTER blending)
3 scoops Protein Powder of choice (optional)
1/3 cup all natural peanut butter, or almond butter
3 Tbsps unrefined coconut oil
1/3 cup dried coconut flakes (I love “Let’s do organic brand)
10 pitted large dates
2 Tbsps pure maple syrup, or raw honey
Coating ingredients:
1 cup melted, high quality dark chocolate
2-3 Tbsp roasted peanuts, or almonds chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Place all filling ingredients into a high speed food processor, or blender and pulse to combine.
Take about 2 Tbsp of mixture and use your hands to work the mixture until it resembles a cookie dough consistency.
Continue with this process, shaping the mixture into even balls and place in the fridge to set while melting the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Dip each ball in chocolate and place it on the tray. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
How to store:
Keep in an air tight container for about a week or freeze for about a month.
Enjoy!
