Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey

Instructions

In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Mix in the coconut flour until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more coconut flour a teaspoon at a time.
Roll the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Freeze the balls for about 20 minutes, until they firm up enough to dip.
While the balls chill, melt the chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting the excess drip off, then place them back on the parchment.
Chill the dipped balls in the fridge until the chocolate sets completely.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate to make these vegan.

For a crunchier texture, use chunky peanut butter or add chopped nuts.

Try toppings like crushed pretzels, shredded coconut, or flaky sea salt after dipping in chocolate.

Almond or cashew butter can be used instead of peanut butter for a different flavor.

If substituting coconut flour, use more almond flour as it’s less absorbent.
