Equipment
Ingredients
For the peanut butter balls:
- 1 cup powdered peanut butter such as PB2 or PBFit
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
For the chocolate coating:
- 5oz (150g) dark chocolate chopped/chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce until well combined. The mixture should form a thick dough. Start with a spoon, then use your hands— it will come together with just a little patience.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should get 10-12 balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. You can also use a double boiler. Stir in the coconut oil, if using, until fully combined and smooth.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes until the chocolate has completely hardened.
- Once the chocolate has set, your balls are ready to eat! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to 2 months.
