Peanut Butter Balls covered in dark chocolate

If you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover, these are going to be your new favorite dessert! They have a soft peanut butter & coconut filling and are coated in dark chocolate. I sprinkled mine with some flaky sea salt. I love a sweet and savory mix! Would you add sea salt too?

How to make peanut butter balls

  1. Start by mixing together all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl until combined - (coconut flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, creamy natural peanut butter, honey and vanilla.)
  2. Use a 1 ½ tbsp cookie scoop, roll into balls and place into the freezer for 15 minutes.
  3. While they are firming up in the freezer, melt the chocolate down with olive oil in a saucepan on low heat until completely melted.
  4. Remove the bites from the freezer, coat in the melted chocolate. Sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top of each ball, if desired.
  5. Place back into the freezer for 30 minutes and enjoy!

How to Store

Store the Peanut Butter Balls in the fridge for up to 5 days or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. THESE containers are my favorite for storing.

      I don't count calories or share calorie counts. Feel free to type the ingredients into an online calc, if interested!

      This is what I got from calculating the recipe in my fitness pal. Per ball:
      221 cals
      15.3G fat (7.1g sat fat)
      19.2g carbs
      5g protein

      Is there a reason why nutrition content isn’t provided? All the ingredients are healthy but it’s good to understand how much you’re eating of each nutrient type. Especially if like me you can get carried away with portion sizes!

        I used to not add nutrition info to my recipes. I have over 300 recipes so I haven't had the time to update all of them with the info. All newer recipes have the info listed.

    Can I leave out the shredded coconut?

      I personally never tried the recipe without shredded coconut so I cannot guarantee you will achieve the same texture.

        Could I use almond butter in this recipe instead of the peanut butter?

          Yes, but make sure the almond butter is nice and drippy and not thick or clumpy.

    Thank you for the recipe. I made them today for the kids they look amazing.
    Is it possible to have the measurements in grams?
    Love your recipes❤️

      Yay! 🙂

      Grams are hard to convert without actually using a scale to measure. I wouldn't want to just put conversions without measuring for myself. I don't have a scale at this time, but maybe I will do this in the future. You can try an online calculator that converts cups to grams, but as I said, it won't be perfect. You will have to play around with the measurements a bit.
