SunButter Buckeyes
SunButter Buckeyes are a nut free twist on a traditional candy, thanks to SunButter. These nut-free “peanut butter balls” are a ball of nut-free fudge coated in chocolate. I made them slightly healthier with a punch of healthy fats too, as a filling snack this holiday season!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ cup SunButter
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons finely ground flaxseed
- 1–2 tablespoon(s) brown sugar or coconut sugar
- Generous pinch of salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon coconut or olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the melted butter, SunButter, ground flaxseed, brown sugar, and salt.
- To make the dough easier to work with you can refrigerate for 20 minutes first, but this is optional. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop into 1-inch balls. Roll balls between the palms of your hands and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes to harden slightly.
- Melt your chocolate by combining chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing in between, until completely melted.
- Dip the SunButter balls into the chocolate, leaving the top uncovered to look like a buckeye. Place back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until chocolate hardens.
- Store in the freezer (and let soften before biting) or in the refrigerator.
