Equipment
- Cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter smooth, chunky, or dark roast
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar alternative
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sugar-free chocolate chips white or dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a bowl, blend together the melted butter with the peanut butter, low-carb powdered sweetener, and vanilla.
- Spoon out 1-inch balls of the peanut butter dough and drop them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes until they're firm, but don't let them freeze. When they're hard, roll them into balls.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
- I used a 2-prong fork to dip these peanut butter balls into the chocolate, but you could use a fork, a skewer, or even a toothpick. Just be sure to remove the toothpicks afterwards!
- Refrigerate the no-bake peanut butter balls until they're firm and enjoy!
- The chocolate peanut butter balls will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for a week.
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate - microwaves can overheat the chocolate causing it to become a nasty clumpy mess.
- If your chocolate starts to get too thick, add a few drops of coconut oil and reheat it in the double boiler.
- Use your favorite peanut butter to make these decadent low carb peanut butter ball treats.
