Just made these keto peanut butter truffles….simple to make and delicious! I used the remaining melted chocolate to cover frozen raspberries!
I added Sea Salt & they’re amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever buy Reese’s PB Eggs again. <3 Thank you for sharing!
This recipe was so easy and my peanut butter balls turned out PERFECT! Thank you so much for sharing. My whole family loves them.
I make these about every 2 weeks. They are just delicious and turn out so pretty. I put just a pinch of kosher salt in there and they are perfect! Just one is enough to stop the cravings!
Can I substitute cocoa powder for the bakers chocolate?
I haven’t tried making that substitution so I can’t speak to how it’ll turn out, but my guess is that it wouldn’t work. You’ll need to melt actual baking chocolate.
I made these once before (not this recipe) and they had such a strong coconut taste. For those that have made it before, what are your thoughts? I love peanut butter cups and would love a sugar free version, but do not like coconut.
Thank you.
You could also use refined coconut oil, that has all the benefits minus the flavor!!
Yummy and so easy to make.
by chance do you have a higher protein version of this peanut butter ball recipe
Thanks.
You can try replacing some of the almond flour with whey protein powder.
Can replace almond with coconut flour or whey protein powder?
Yes, you can. If you’re using coconut flour, you might want to add less since it’s very absorbent.
I’m allergic to caffeine, so can’t eat regular chocolate. Do you think they would be o.k. with white chocolate?
It would probably be OK, and you can skip the added sweetener in the chocolate coating since white chocolate is very sweet. FYI if you’re trying to do a low carb diet, I would avoid white chocolate since it’s very sugary.
These looks great. I will make them this weekend! Thanks for sharing
