Snickers was always my favorite candy bar, and these little bites totally satisfy that snickers craving :)
What you need: (makes about 14 bites)
- 75 grams softened coconut butter (not coconut oil)
- 75 grams date syrup, or coconut blossom nectar/syrup
- 50 grams salted peanuts
- a good pinch of vanilla bean powder (optional)
- 80-100 grams melted chocolate
Optional topping: chopped peanuts or sea salt.
- Stir the softened coconut butter, syrup and vanilla (if using) together. It will start forming a semi firm ball. That's ok.
- Roughly chop the peanuts, and mix them in.
- If you'd rather roll into balls or maybe make more of a bar, you can put the mixture in the fridge for a bit to firm up, and make it easier to work with.
I just divided the mixture into mini silicone muffin molds right away.
- Once you've shaped or divided your mixture, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Then coat with melted chocolate, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts or sea salt if desired.
- Put back in the fridge to set the chocolate.
Store these in the fridge. For a chewier texture store in the freezer, and take them out 2 minutes before eating :)
Is coconut butter pureed coconut?
ReplyDeleteYes it is. Just like peanut butter is ground up peanuts, coconut butter is ground up coconut :)
