Surprise Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

These peanut butter balls are totally decadent and so easy to make. Watch them disappear as soon as you serve them. Enjoy a few without the guilt!

Enjoy these yummy peanut butter balls knowing the ingredients are healthy and because of that, have two!

 

I had three! Shhh, don’t tell. 

 

Made with a special ingredient that you would never think would complement a peanut butter mixture.

 

But it really does and by using this surprise ingredient, you’ll save a lot of extra calories and fat.

 

These peanut butter balls are rich tasting and decadent with less fat, calories, and sugar than other similar type of peanut butter balls you find in chocolate  and candy stores.

 

But, you would never know it after biting into one of these delicious gems.

 

That being said, go ahead and check out this recipe, you will be so glad you did and so will anyone you serve these to.

 

Why not show someone how special they are with a homemade chocolate gift.

 

As my son Josh said, these are a double thumbs up and I certainly agree. Of course I do, I ate three of these at one sitting!
