AJ’s Peanut Butter Balls or some Call them Buckeyes!
Ingredients/Peanut Butter Filling
2/3 cup Peanut Butter
1/3 cup Coconut Flour
2 tsp Vanilla
1/4 cup of Date Sugar or Coconut Sugar
Dash of pink H.salt
Chocolate Coating
2 Tbs Coconut oil
2 Tbs Raw Cacao (not cocoa)
1 Tbs canned Coconut milk/or coconut cream
1 1/2 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Pinch of H.pink salt
To Make the Filling:
1. Stir together all ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add just enough coconut flour so that your dough is no longer sticky. Taste and adjust if needed.
2. Scoop balls onto a parchment lined plate using a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon – 1 tsp to 1 Tbs, depending on how big you like.
3. Optional: roll each ball in your hands to smooth out the surface. Set aside while you prepare the chocolate.
To Make the Chocolate:
1. Melt coconut oil in a saucepan, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust if needed.
2. Dip each ball in the bowl of melted chocolate and turn to coat thoroughly. Use a fork to remove from the bowl or scoop out with a spoon. Set back on parchment.
3. Freeze for 30-60 minutes, until chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
Keep frozen or refrigerated. Must be kept cold since the chocolate will melt.
