Make Your Own Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles-100% Naturally!

Peanut Butter + Chocolate= Unskinny combination, right?
Yes...But we all need a treat once in a while and if we are going to have one why not have it be good and good for you?!

Chocolate* is made from cocoa beans and has some great properties:
Antioxidant properties
Magnesium to protect the heart
Iron to promote energy and heart health
Anti-inflammatory procyanidins

Peanut butter is made from peanuts which are:
Rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E
High in amino acids (boost mood and brain function)
Monounsaturated fats protect agains heart disease

Feel better? Okay, now you can make these!

Here's What You Need:Dark chocolate* (About 2oz)
Natural peanut butter*Sea salt
Vanilla (optional)**Buy 70% or more cocao bar. Natural peanut butter doesn't have any added salt, but the salt really brings out the flavor of the ingredients so be generous with it! I think next time I make these I may add a dash of vanilla to the melted chocolate to create a more complex flavor.

Here's What You Do:Scoop out the peanut butter with a big dinner spoon and form into truffle size balls using your hands. Roll in sea salt. Put them onto a piece of parchment or tin foil on a paper plate and put in the freezer for about 2 hours. Break the chocolate into little pieces and microwave in 30 sec. intrevals, stirring well for about 90 seconds. Using a fork, carefully coat the peanut butter balls with the melted chocolate, working quickly. Place back into the freezer for about 2 more hours. Sprinkle with more sea salt and then serve. Store them in the fridge.

Kid Tip:Pretty sure you won't have to twist your kids arms to eat this one! Instead use it as a incentive to eat their veggies like I did!
