Equipment

  • hand blender
  • parchment paper
  • large tray

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup icing sugar or less
  • 1 cup toasted almonds chopped

For Coating

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut cream or coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add creamy peanut butter and soften the butter. Using a hand mixer, beat until combined. Now add the icing sugar and mix for about one more minute.
  • Chop the previously toasted almonds. Combine nuts with peanut butter mixture. Add some chocolate chips and mix again. Using an ice cream scoop (or two tablespoons), form balls and arrange them on a pan lined with parchment paper. When done, send them to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips. Add a tablespoon of coconut cream or oil to the chocolate to get a glossy and luscious coating.
  • Remove the balls from the fridge. Using a fork or bamboo skewers, dip each ball in melted chocolate (make sure it is not hot). Arrange the balls back onto the parchment-lined pan. Decorate with a drizzle of chocolate. Chill for at least 20 more minutes.
