Peanut Butter Balls

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. This treat is the PERFECT answer to staying out of your kid’s Easter basket. This candy is amazingly luscious. So decadent. Eat them in moderation and you can have your candy and eat it too! This recipe was contributed by Dieter Lori. Her husband is a beekeeper; hence the honey. And Lori is the honey who brought us this amazing treat.

I have to guide you a little bit in telling you to follow her recipe exactly. I tried the recipe several different ways including using unsweetened peanut butter in one version and NONE of my variations turned out anywhere near as good as following this just the way she designed it. Measure carefully and follow the instructions.

Here’s how I made them:

Servings:

Ingredients:

• ½ cup of roasted-salted peanuts
• ½ Tbl of peanut oil
• 1 Tbl of honey
• sea salt to taste
• coating
• 4 oz of dark chocolate
• 2 oz of whipping cream

Instructions:

In a small food processor combine the peanut butter ball ingredients to form a thick paste. Refrigerate until cold. Then remove blobs using a small spoon scoop out a portion and roll it in the palm of your hand to round it. You’re making little balls about ¾” in diameter. Make small balls so you can have 2!

Put the rounded balls on a cookie sheet and put them back in the refrigerator to chill again for 30 minutes.

In a small container melt the chocolate and cream to make the coating.

To keep the carbs low, what I did was poke each peanut butter ball with a tooth pick dipped in chocolate and then dipped the bottom of the peanut butter ball in the chocolate coating. This way I had peanut butter balls that were coated on the bottom with a chocolate dot on top.  You’ll probably have extra chocolate coating. You need enough to dip them in so it leaves extra.

Chill, covered, until ready to serve.

They won’t last long in most houses.

By the way, when I tried to double or triple the recipe it didn’t work. I got peanut butter mush so I recommend you make each batch separately.

These are a majorly BIG YUM.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
