How to Make Low-Carb Peanut Butter Balls
Step 1: Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, sweetener, and salt. Stir until smooth and thick.
If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until it firms up enough to roll.
Step 2: Shape the Balls
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 20–30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Dip & Chill
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Place back on the tray and chill in the fridge (or freezer) until the chocolate is set — about 15–20 minutes.
