This is a recipe from Angela Liddon’s Oh She Glows Every Day Cookbook. These are dangerously delicious! I made them a few weeks ago for the first time and they were a huge hit! 7 ingredients, 20 minutes of prep and then 10-15 minutes in the freezer et voila you have yourself 20 little bundles of joy.
Ingredients: Make 18 – 20 balls
- 1 cup 100% natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1-3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup gluten-free crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for dairy-free use Enjoy Life)
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter and maple syrup for 30-60 seconds, until it thickens up. It will go from runny to thick.
- Stir in the coconut flour until combined (if your PB is dry, you might be able to skip this step or only use half). We’re looking for a texture that isn’t too sticky, but not too dry either. Let it sit for a couple minutes to firm up as the coconut flour will continue to absorb moisture with time. Add a touch more coconut flour if necessary. Or if it’s too dry, add a touch more syrup.
- Add salt to taste and stir in the cereal.
- Shape into small balls (I made 20).
- In a small pot, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat over low heat, stirring frequently. Once half the chips have melted, remove from heat and stir until completely smooth.
- With a fork, dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Tap off excess chocolate on the side of the pot and place the ball on a plate or cutting board lined with parchment. Repeat for the rest. Save any leftover melted chocolate for later.
- Place balls in the freezer for around 6-8 minutes until mostly firm.
- Dip a fork into the leftover melted chocolate and drizzle it on top of the balls to create a “sophisticated” design like the baking diva you are.
- Freeze the balls for another 10-15 minutes, until the chocolate is completely set. If you can wait that long, wink wink.
Enjoy these magical mouth-watering treats.
