Author's Notes

Optional (will effect nutritional information)

Try substituting in protein powder rather than toasted flour.

Try substituting in different nut butters.

Try adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom.

*This recipe contains 130 calories and 2 grams of sugar per serving, compared to the full-sugar version that has 170 calories and 12 grams of sugar per serving.

**To toast the almond flour, add 1-2 cups of flour to a baking sheet and bake on 350F degrees for 5 minutes. This makes the flavor pop and the flour safe to eat.

Cooking Instructions

step 1
Add Creamy Peanut Butter (1/3 cup), softened Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp), Vanilla Extract (1/4 tsp), and Salt (1/8 tsp) to a mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
step 2
Add Truvia Sweet Complete® Confectioners Stevia Leaf Sweetener (1 cup) and Almond Flour (1/2 cup) to mixture and beat on low until it forms a stiff dough, about 2 minutes.
step 3
Use a melon ball scoop or roll the dough into balls into 1-inch size, you should get 32-35 balls.
step 4
Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will keep them in shape.
step 5
Using a microwave safe bowl, melt the Dark Chocolate Chunks (2/3 cup) and Vegetable Oil (1 tsp) for 30 second increments, mixing between increments, until fully melted. About 90 seconds total (3 increments).
step 6
Let chocolate mixture cool for 2-3 minutes.
step 7
With a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the chocolate mixture, leaving just the eye of the peanut butter ball showing. Softly tap the pick on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and place each dipped ball back onto parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
step 8
Once hardened, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
