Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

Difficulty: Easy

Makes about 15 balls

So, I’ve tempted a couple of work colleagues into doing Vegan November by promising a delicious vegan treat every week! Last week I made Peanut Butter Blondies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar and I’m continuing the peanut butter theme with my very own recipe. A crisp and creamy centre is smothered with a layer of bittersweet chocolate, perfect for a dinner party treat or nicely boxed as a gift.

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1/2 cup granulated nuts
• 1 cup Rice Bubbles
• 1 block (250g) Whittaker’s Dark Chocolate, melted

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar and vanilla.
2. Add the nuts and Rice Bubbles, mix well.
3. Using a tablespoon as a measure, roll the peanut butter mixture into balls. Try not to have the peanut butter mixture in your hands for too long or it will become sticky.
4. Roll the balls in the melted chocolate and coat well.
5. Lay these onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and chill until chocolate has set.
