Peanut Butter Balls

THIS right here is one of my all-time favorite Christmas candy/treats - I have two ways of making them:

1. All homemade ingredients.

2. Gluten-free + Dairy-free BUT I use Simple Mills honey gram crackers instead of almond flour - this is more of a beginner level treat, perfect for bringing to your family or friend's holiday party and they will have no idea they are a healthy swap!

Today I am going to share my STRAIGHT UP HEALTHY OPTION:

Ingredients:

Peanut butter dough:

• 2 cups of unsweetened peanut butter (sub one cup chunky if you like some crunch!)

• 2 cups powdered coconut sugar for low glycemic option or powdered cane sugar for traditional option

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/2 cup cassava flour

• 1/4 cup coconut oil (can use ghee or butter too)

Chocolate coating:

• 1-2 cups of chocolate chips (Lily's for no sugar and Enjoy Life for full sugar) melted

• 1/4 tsp coconut oil as needed to smooth the consistency

Directions:

1. Mix all peanut butter dough ingredients together in standing mixer

2. Refrigerate dough mixture for 2 hours

3. Prepare large baking sheet covered with parchment paper

4. Roll cold dough into 1 inch ball

5. Roll in your favorite melted chocolate + coconut oil

6. Place on a large parchment paper lined pan in fridge to cool and "set"

7. Store in air tight container in the fridge or if you live in Wisconsin like me: OUTSIDE!
