Servings: 24 candies
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter or almond butter no sugar added
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or 1/4 cup favorite keto sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil room temperature
- 1/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (Note 1 Keto Chocolate)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, cream together the almond butter, maple syrup and coconut oil using an electric hand mixer until very smooth.1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter or almond butter, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup coconut oil
- Stir in the almond flour, salt and vanilla and mix well until a dough forms.1/3 cup blanched almond flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Use a small cookie scoop or Tablespoon to roll into 1- inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. You should have 22-25 peanut butter balls. Transfer them to the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
- While they're freezing, make the dipping chocolate. Place the chocolate in a microwavable bowl and melt in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- Once balls are firm, remove them from freezer and carefully dip each one in the chocolate and coat about 2/3, leaving a small round peanut butter top. Place back on the baking sheet and repeat with all of the healthy buckeyes. Refrigerate or freezer for another 15 minutes to set.
- Enoy right away or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (my preference). Healthy buckeyes can be frozen for up to 4 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
