I am always looking for quick, easy and tasty snack ideas. I am also a big sucker for nut butter, whether it is peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter, I can eat them by the spoon full. I decided to throw 2 nut kinds of nut butter in a bowl together with some maple syrup. Staring at the bowl, I was wondering what else to add. Shredded coconut and buckwheat groats came to mind. I throw some in the bowl and mix. This is how my chocolate crunch balls were born. Very easy and fun to make. The part I think I enjoy the most is the buckwheat groats. They add a nice crunch. It reminds me of rice Krispies but so much better!
You can eat the batter right out of the bowl- not that I have done that or anything or roll them up into small balls. Either way, you will not be disappointed in these creamy crunchy little gems!
