Servings 14 candies
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Candy Filling
- 1 1/4 cup natural, runny peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (pure)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
White Chocolate Coating
- 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers (we used Ghirardelli brand)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Roll about 2-tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture into the shape of your choosing.
- Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze while you prepare the coating.
- Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted.
- Coat each piece of candy. It is easiest to coat when they are semi-frozen. This helps the coating harden faster. Return the coated candy to the parchment paper.
- Decorate the candies! Enjoy!
Notes
Food dye: I used the all natural food dye to make the "veins" in the eyeball. As you can see it is a raspberry kind of color rather than dark red.
