Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Balls

I think these little peanut butter energy balls are going to be my downfall. Really, I just can’t stop making and eating them!

Me and the kids are always STARVING every afternoon when we get home and these peanut butter balls have been the perfect snack. They have a sweet peanut butter cookie dough flavor with a texture that melts in your mouth. They can also be mixed up in one bowl in like 2 minutes so there’s no down time. Plus, they are filling because they have protein and fat to keep us full until dinner. Best. Recipe. Everrrr.

Tips For The Perfect Peanut Butter Balls

• You don’t have to use peanut butter, feel free to use any nut butter you prefer or Sunbutter for nut free. Just be aware that they will mostly taste like the nut butter you choose, so choose one you really like!
• To make these low carb: Sub out the coconut palm sugar for a keto-friendly sweetener such as Swerve or Lakanto. Sub the maple syrup with Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup (or other sugar free syrup). And use Lily’s Dark Chips or Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips. If you use all these low-carb options each peanut butter ball with have approximately 6 net carbs. 
• Depending on how runny your nut butter is, you may need to place them in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up before eating.
