Recipe Tips

For a fun twist, try adding some chopped peanuts to the mixture before rolling the balls. If the chocolate coating becomes too thick while dipping the balls, simply add a small amount of coconut oil to thin it out. Make sure to chill the balls before dipping them in the chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
