Description
Delicious and indulgent peanut butter candies dipped in dark chocolate, perfect for sharing or enjoying as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups natural peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup powdered sugar (or equivalent sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (60–72%) for dipping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and set a rack for cooling.
- In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, rolled oats, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla, and salt until smooth and slightly tacky.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls, placing them on the parchment. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
- Dip each chilled peanut-butter ball in the melted chocolate, making sure the top remains exposed.
- Tap off excess chocolate and return to parchment. Refrigerate until chocolate sets (about 15–20 minutes).
- Let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Notes
For a shinier finish, temper your chocolate before dipping. Adjust sweetness by using different sweeteners as needed.
