Peanut/Almond (Butter) Pretzel Balls

I decided to come up with a guilt free version of one of my favorite decadent treats - peanut butter balls. 

These make an excellent holiday treat! They're easy to make in bulk and are a perfect portioned goodie.

Sweet & salty is one of my guilty pleasures - so I decided to throw some crushed pretzels in the mix. 

They were a HUGE hit! Everybody loved them. I highly suggest giving this recipe a whirl! :)

Peanut/Almond Butter Pretzel Balls

Filling

1/4 cup all natural peanut butter
1/4 cup organic almond butter
1/2 cup of crushed organic mini salted pretzels

Combine both nut butters in a small bowl. Crush pretzels and add to nut butters then mix well. Place in the fridge for about 25-30 min until firm.

Chocolate Shell

4 Tbsp of virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup of agave

Melt the coconut oil (in the microwave or oven). When melted, add agave and stir. Next, add the cocoa powder and stir until combined. Now you have your melting chocolate!

Spread a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet or platter. Pull your butter mix out of the fridge. Scoop out about a spoonful of the mix and roll into a ball. Then dip the ball into your melting chocolate until coated and place on cookie sheet. When complete, place in the fridge so they can set and harden.
(I left mine in the fridge overnight but 1-2 hours will probably be suitable)
