One of my all-time favorite nut butters is peanut butter. It might not be the most healthiest member of the nut butter family, but boy, does it ever taste good. And when I do eat it, it has to be accompanied by chocolate. Are you with me on this? Peanut butter and chocolate just has to be one of the best duo’s out there.
If I let little E, she would eat peanut butter all day long, all by it’s lonesome. I thought, how could I make it a little less messy and a little more healthy? By adding coconut and raw chocolate of course. It might not be a reese peanut butter cup, but it is its healthy cousin- the chocolate peanut butter ball.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of peanut butter
- 3/4 cup of almond butter
- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup of liquid sweetener such as honey, agave or date paste
- 1/2 cup of raw cacao powder
Method
- Mix the 2 nut butters in a bowl.
- Add each ingredients to the nut butters one at a time and incorporate.
- Once all mixed up, place the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to get firm.
- Roll the mixture into balls, and place in the fridge until ready to eat.

I am the Good Girl Gone Green. Seeing garbage cans overflowing with recyclables breaks my heart.
This is SUCH a cliche but – my mouth actually literally I’m-not-kidding watered while I read these. These look incredible. I am definitely definitely going to give these a go.
I invented Peanut Butter and Jam frozen yogurt icepops – http://www.veggierunners.com/?p=720 – which I bet you’d like if you’re a peanut butter head like me. You’ve got me thinking now about a cacao version, though. I bet it’d be incredible.
Thanks! They are just so tasty! I will take a look at your recipe, too.
How prominent is the coconut taste? Because I love the sound (and look) of these but I hate coconut.
The coconut adds a crunch to the balls. I don’t really taste them. You could omit it if you want. I am sure they would still turn out nice.
oh my gosh that looks lovely! i am crazy for nut butter! these are perfect!
Let me know if you try them!
LOVE this, what a great recipe.. YUM..

Thanks! They are very yummy.
these sound delicious
Thank you so much!
Those sound delicious. Sadly, I’m the only one in my house who likes peanut butter, but I might have to whip up a batch of these and take them to work one day.
You can try them with just almond butter or another nut butter. I am sure they would taste great!
Get in my tummy! Those look so tasty. I am going to have to run down to the store so I can make these for my chocolate fix! I think cashew butter would be super tasty too. Thank you for sharing!
