Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter*
- 1/3 cup almond flour/meal
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup*
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (dairy free, no sugar added if needed)
- 1 tsp. coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients (except chocolate and coconut oil) in a medium sized bowl.
- Roll mixture into balls. If sticky, add a little more almond flour as desired to get a good consistency to work with. You can also press mixture into a silicone mold for fun shapes. Use a cookie scoop for ease if preferred but I usually just use clean hands!
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.
- Roll chilled balls into melted chocolate, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and then freeze for another 30-60 minutes. Once chocolate has set, enjoy!

Notes
- Store in the freezer (We love using Stasher bags) and pull one out when ready for a treat!
- Sub honey for maple syrup if not vegan. OR for a no added sugar option use melted coconut oil.
- Can substitute a different nut butter if you don't like peanut butter. Almond butter, cashew butter, and hazelnut butter are all great options.
- I like to microwave the nut butter for about 30 seconds to get it smooth and easier to work with when stirring.
- You can melt chocolate using a double boiler or I most often use the microwave. Microwave in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stir, and microwave again until smooth. Use 1-3 tsp. coconut oil to give the chocolate a smooth consistency.
