Instructions
 

Soften Coconut Butter:

  • If the coconut butter is solid, gently soften it by microwaving it in short intervals or placing the jar in warm water until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency.

Combine Peanut Butter and Coconut Butter:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and softened coconut butter. Mix well until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture.

Add Sweetener and Vanilla:

  • Incorporate the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract into the peanut butter and coconut butter mixture. Stir until the sweetener is well combined and the mixture is evenly sweetened. It should look like a fluffy peanut butter filling. Place the large bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Roll Into Balls:

  • Use a 2-tablespoon small cookie scoop to scoop out individual peanut butter balls. Roll them into round balls and place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Once you have rolled out all the balls, place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Melt The Chocolate:

  • In a medium bowl melt the chocolate chips. You can do this either with a double boiler or in a microwave. If using a microwave I recommend only heating it in 30-second increments.

​Chocolate Coating:

  • Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to move them around the bowl and allow the excess melted chocolate to drip off. Place the vegan peanut butter balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top the peanut butter balls with sea salt while the chocolate is still warm. Allow the peanut butter balls to set at room temperature until the chocolate has solidified.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Once the peanut butter balls are firm, they are ready to be enjoyed! You can refrigerate them or keep them at room temperature.
