Healthier Peanut Butter Balls Food

A HEALTHIER TAKE ON PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Stir together 1/2 cup of the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and stir until fully incorporated. Scoop out 18 balls (about 1 tablespoon each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring in 30-second intervals. Dip chilled balls, one at a time, into chocolate, turning to coat. Lift out with a fork and let excess drip off. Place back onto parchment. Repeat with remaining balls. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Microwave remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter until loosened, about 20 seconds on HIGH. Drizzle balls evenly with peanut butter. Chill until set, about 5 minutes. Freeze or refrigerate in an airtight container.

KIDS CAN MAKE: HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Process the raisin bran and brown rice cereals, peanut butter, maple syrup, cherries and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor until the mixture is finely chopped and comes together in a big ball. Roll some into a small ball; if it seems too dry and crumbly, add 1 more tablespoon water.
• Scoop the mixture into slightly mounded tablespoons, then roll them into smooth balls. (Dampen your hands with a little water to help you roll.)
• If using the bananas, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground. Pour them into a small bowl. Roll each truffle in the banana dust until coated. If using the cocoa, pour it into a small bowl, then roll each truffle in it until coated.
• Store the balls at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

• Add dates to food processor or mini chopper and pulse until dates are finely chopped and form a sticky ball. Add in oats and pulse a few more times until combined. Add peanut butter and process until combined. If the mixture seems too oily, add another Tablespoon of oats.
• Scoop out peanut butter dough by the tablespoon and roll into balls. Place balls on parchment paper. Place peanut butter balls in the freezer until firm (several hours or overnight). This step makes it easier to dip the balls into the chocolate.
• A couple minutes before taking the balls out of the freezer, combine your chocolate chips with the coconut oil and melt the mixture. Use a double boiler or microwave in 30 second increments (stirring after every 30 seconds) until the chocolate is melted.
• Dip chilled balls into the melted chocolate and roll until covered. Place back on parchment paper. Once all balls are covered, place back in freezer until hard. Store in freezer or fridge until ready to enjoy.
