Chocolate and peanut butter- my two favorite foods! These “healthier” peanut butter balls are the perfect dessert to bring to your holiday parties!
Peanut Butter Balls have been a holiday staple in my house for as long as I can remember. My mom, sister, and I make them every year to give to people as gifts and to enjoy ourselves. They stay good in the fridge for awhile, so we would eat them well after Christmas. In my opinion, you can never have too much peanut butter and chocolate! Although, the peanut butter balls we made were not the healthiest of desserts. This year, after eating one too many , I decided I would make a healthier version. This recipe is super easy to make and only needs six ingredients!
Chocolate chips
Peanut Butter
Oats
Honey
Vanilla Protein Powder
Coconut Oil
That’s It! I bet you already have those ingredients!
Yes, they are totally worth the 15 minutes it will take you to make them!
Keep them in the fridge and eat them for dessert with your lunch or dinner! Okay, I’ll stop tempting you! Here’s the simple simple recipe!
