-
5-6 dates deseeded
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
A pinch of salt
-
1 cup any dark chocolate
-
½ cup shredded coconut + for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixer jar, add peanut butter, dates without seed, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.

- Now, transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Then add the shredded coconut.
- Start mixing this mixture with your hands.
- Take a small amount and roll between your hands to form a small ball.
- Once all balls are prepared, set them on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze them for about 3-4 hours.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler method.
- Remove the balls from the freezer and dip these peanut butter balls one at a time into it using a toothpick or small fork.

- Sprinkle some shredded coconut over the balls, if desired.

Notes
- Always use best quality of peanut butter instead of using homemade natural peanut butter. Natural peanut butter is too greasy for this recipe to work with.
- It is necessary to freeze the balls before dipping into the chocolate. This helps the peanut butter balls to firm up and to hold their shape faster.
- You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave. Transfer the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it until smooth and completely melted.
- It is best to use a toothpick for dipping and pulling out these balls from the melted chocolate.
- After dipping the balls in the chocolate, just tap a little to let the excess chocolate drip off.
- These chocolate peanut butter truffles can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
