Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Form the Buckeyes: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Buckeyes: Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the fridge. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating them completely. Return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Place the chocolate-covered Buckeyes back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
