Servings: 20
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

• 1 cup organic peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup cacao powder
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• pinch salt

Mix peanut butter and coconut flour and put in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile heat the coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup on low heat until just melted. Stir in vanilla and salt. Put in the refrigerator until thickened, but not hardened, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove peanut butter mixture from freezer. Using hands, roll into about 20 small balls. Place the peanut butter balls on a piece of parchment paper, and put back in the freezer for another 20 minutes.

Finally, roll each peanut butter ball in the chocolate sauce, and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
