Reviews
I used this recipe to make mini “dragon eggs” for a TV show premiere, and they turned out perfectly! It was easy to shape the peanut butter into the shapes I wanted (more oblong than round- I used a spoon as a shaping guide.) I fridge’d them overnight before dipping in the chocolate, allowed the chocolate to cool for a little while (like 5 minutes) and then used a knife to carve designs into the chocolate. They turned out beautiful and taste great- super easy recipe!
Made the coating only and sugar free. Edna’s proportions are perfect. I used 100% dark (zero sugar) organic chocolate chips, almond oil and 1 T Sweet Leaf stevia. Melted in microwave, 1/3 of the recipe at a time, in a Pyrex bowl. Each batch, with my microwave, took 66 seconds at Power Level 3, stir and repeat. Voila! Thank you, Edna! Instead of peanut butter balls, I used the modified coating for my cholesterol free mocha almond cheesecake balls. Zero fat cream cheese, instant coffee, natural almond extract and Sweet Leaf stevia.
Made as written and these turned out really good. I ended up with a lot more chocolate leftover so my only recommendation is to scale it back to 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of 1 1/2 cups. The cereal adds a really nice crunch!
I don’t use the corn flakes, but it tastes awesome
