Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls (Peanut-Free Option)
Chocolate peanut butter balls made with four ingredients. Peanut butter, melted butter, and powdered sweetener are mixed, chilled, rolled into 16 balls, and dipped in melted sugar-free chocolate chips. There is no baking. SunButter or almond butter makes them peanut-free.
Servings: 16 balls
Calories: 130kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup unsweetened peanut butter (use No-Sugar-Added SunButter or unsweetened almond butter to keep the recipe peanut-free)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup powdered sweetener
- ⅔ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix together peanut butter and melted butter. In small batches, mix in powdered sweetener until smooth. Transfer bowl to freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
- After chilling, remove bowl from freezer and, using a spoon, scoop out portion of mixture, form into about 1¼-inch balls using hands, and place atop prepared baking sheet until 16 balls are made. Transfer baking sheet to freezer to chill until balls have firmed, about 20 minutes.
- With about 5 minutes left of balls chilling, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Remove baking sheet from freezer and, one by one, using a fork or a toothpick, carefully dip balls into melted chocolate, allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return balls to baking sheet. Optionally, use any remaining melted chocolate to drizzle atop chocolate-covered balls.
- Return baking sheet to freezer to chill until chocolate has solidified, about 5 minutes.
