3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls
Ever wish you could enjoy a Reese's cup without the guilt? Where there's a will, there's a way! These 3 ingredient peanut butter 🥜 balls will make you feel like you're indulging in your favorite candy - only they're packed with nutrition!
Servings: 12 balls
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup PB2
- ½ cup apple sauce
- ½ cup chocolate chips dark or any
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the PB2 (powdered peanut butter) and mix it with the apple sauce until you have a tacky dough.
- If the dough is too sticky or wet, please add a little bit of PB2 at a time until it resembles a play-dough like consistency.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each one into a ball. Set aside.
- Next, over a double boiler (or the microwave), melt the chocolate.
- Once the chocolate is melted, dip each one into the melted chocolate and move it around with a fork making sure to let the excess drip back into the bowl.
- Place the coated chocolate peanut butter ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat the previous step until all 12 are coated in chocolate.
- Freeze for 20 minutes (or until solidified).
- Each one is approximately 70 calories (depending on the brands you use) and you can store them in a glass container in the fridge. Enjoy!
