These super easy chocolate peanut butter footballs are made with a few simple ingredients and an extra optional crunch in the middle. They are vegan, gluten free and low in sugar.
Equipment
- Sheet Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter unsalted
- 3 tbsp maple syrup substitute honey
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 cup gluten free pretzels optional; crushed
- 3 dark chocolate bars melted
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- white royal icing
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine natural peanut butter and maple syrup until smooth
- Add in coconut flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the batter begins to form a ball
- Optional: In a bag, crush your pretzels in a very tiny crumbles. Then fold into the peanut butter mixture
- With your hands, take about 1.5 tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a football shape. Place in a tray that is lined with wax paper. Repeat until all the peanut butter mixture is used up and place in the freezer for 15 minutes
- In a microwave safe cup or bowl, add the chocolate bar, broken into pieces, and the coconut oil together and microwave for 1-2 minutes in 30 second intervals. Be careful not to overcook and stir in between each interval.
- Take the footballs out of the freezer and using a fork, dip the football into the melted chocolate, flip over, and make sure it is completely covered. Place back on the sheet and repeat for each football.
- Using a royal icing, pipe one long line and three smaller lines to make the laces of the football. Enjoy! Store in the fridge to make sure the chocolate does not melt. **If you don't have a squeezable bottle, pour the icing into a small ziploc bag, seal the bag and snip a tiny hole in the corner and pipe!
