Instructions

  1. Mix the stevia and arrowroot powders together and set aside. In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and chocolate. Sweeten the chocolate if you wish. Once it melts, turn the heat down and keep it slightly liquid.
  2. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter and the stevia/arrowroot mixture. You want it to form a thick dough that you can roll out. Check for sweetness and adjust to your taste. Add a bit more arrowroot powder if it feels too sticky.
  3. Once you form the dough you can roll it into balls and place them in the freezer for 20 minutes or so, or until firm.
  4. Once cool and firm dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Let cool a minute and dip again. You can dip the pieces several times if you want a thicker chocolate layer.
  5. Once dipped, let the pieces rest on the parchment paper or a cooling rack. Let cool completely before storing. Transfer to a plate or jar with a good seal.

Notes

These can be kept for a week or so at room temperature. Storing in the refrigerator or freezer is not recommended. This causes the chocolate to "bloom" which is when the cocoa butter comes to the surface. It's not a bad thing, but it may look old or moldy. If you plan on storing them in the refrigerator or freezer, roll in a bit of cocoa powder to disguise the surface.
