Fun Peanut Butter Chocolate balls

This recipe is a PERFECT substitute for Reeses peanut butter cups, as it is both absolutely delicious and healthy at the same time. When I took the photo for the post there were only half left as my mum had secretly devoured them!! :) I am glad she enjoyed them though!

Ingredients 

(Makes 15 mini balls)

Peanut centre Ingredients 

• 75g of peanut butter (I use Whole Foods freshly ground peanut butter - it is honestly the best kind!)
• 3tbs of coconut powder
• A dash of salt 
• 10g of xylitol 
• 1 - 2 packets of truvia/stevia (depending on how sweet you want it)

Chocolate Coating Ingredients 

• 3tbs of carob powder
• 2tbs of cocoa/ cacao powder 
• 2tbs of coconut oil (melted)
• 1 packet of truvia/ sweetener 
• 1tbs of xylitol 

Method 

1. Mix the peanut centre ingredients until resembles a dough that isn't too sticky or too dry 
2. Make the dough into little balls, around twice the size of a malteser - the dough should be enough to make 15 of them
3. Put the balls in the freezer for 1 hr or overnight 
4. To make the chocolate coating mix the carob and cocoa powder 
5. Then add all the other ingredients in the chocolate coating section 
6. Take out the peanut butter balls from the freezer and dip them in the chocolate coating 
7. Make sure you cover the whole ball and place them back in the freezer for 10mins or until ready to eat
8. ENJOY! :)
