Sugar Free Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls.
I am sure that we have all seen the regular sugared versions of this recipe.
Sugar Free Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls.
I am pretty sure that what I like best about this recipe is the thought of the soft peanut butter melting in my mouth. Of course, that would only happen after breaking into the chocolate covering.
Technically, this is a no-bake recipe.
Usually, when we think of ‘no-bake’ we think of an easier than normal recipe. It must have something to do with not having to deal with using an oven. However, this recipe takes a bit of time to make as we will be using the refrigerator to help us out.
There really are not a lot of ingredients that we need for this one.
We will be using sugar free powdered sugar. You can use my recipe for sugar free powdered sugar or you can buy your own sugar free powdered sugar online.
We will also need peanut butter in this recipe.
You can keep this as sugar free as possible by using peanut butter without added sugar in it, which you can also find online. Lastly, you will need sugar free chocolate chips.

Also, I have a great recipe for sugar free copycat ‘Nutella’ recipe and a sugar free no bake peanut butter oatmeal bar recipe that you may enjoy.
