Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, powdered sugar, and coconut flour. Mix very well until you get a homogeneous dough.

Step 2

Let the dough chill it the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until it is relatively hardened and easy to shape and mold.

Step 3

Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon of dough and roll it into a ball with the palms of your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined plate and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until hardened.

Step 4

In a small deep bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat in the microwave for 30-seconds intervals, mixing well after each interval until you get a smooth and glossy mixture (it took me 2 intervals in total – 60 seconds) to get the chocolate to melt and become smooth.

Step 5

Use a toothpick to poke each peanut butter ball and dip it in the chocolate mixture, rotating the ball to cover most of it, leaving a small circle uncoated at the top. Place the coated buckeye balls on a parchment-lined plate and let them chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, and then use your finger to spread out the dough at the top to cover up the hole made from the toothpick before serving or eating.
