Why I Love This Recipe

Sometimes you just need a little something sweet after dinner, and these are exactly what I reach for. They have that classic chocolate and peanut butter combination everyone loves, but they’re made with simple ingredients and couldn’t be easier to throw together. They’ve also become a Christmas tradition in our home, something we look forward to making and sharing each year. Keep a batch in the freezer, and you’ll always have the perfect bite-sized treat waiting for you.

Enjoying The Leftovers

These are meant to be made ahead, so they’re perfect for keeping in the freezer whenever a sweet craving hits.

Storing:

Store the bon bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I actually prefer them straight from the freezer for the best texture. If stacking them in a container, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

When you’re ready to eat:

Enjoy them chilled from the refrigerator or freezer. If frozen solid, let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating so the center softens just slightly.

US – M

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix together the coconut flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix well until it forms a dough.
  • Grab a plate or baking sheet and cover with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into 12 equal sized balls and place on the plate. Place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before dipping in the chocolate.
  • To make the chocolate add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave about 2 minutes, making sure to stir every 30 seconds so that the chocolate melts evenly and doesn't burn.
  • Once the chocolate is fully melted grab the peanut butter balls from the freezer.
  • Place a ball into the chocolate and use a fork to roll in around until it’s fully covered. Pick it up with your fork and let some of the excess chocolate drip off. Place back on the plate and repeat until all are covered in chocolate.
  • Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt on each one and place back in the freezer. Wait at least 30 minutes before enjoying!
