Steps by step instructions

How to make peanut butter bliss balls?

STEP 1: Use your hand to combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Once combined roll out 10 balls and place them onto a parchment-lined plate.

If balls are too crumbly add a ¼ teaspoon of water at a time until you can shape them into a ball.

If balls are too wet add a teaspoon of almond flour at a time until you can shape them into a ball.

STEP 2: Dipping them into melted chocolate is optional, to make the chocolate peanut butter bliss balls, melt a ¼ cup of low-carb chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments until melted, stirring between increments. It took me 90 seconds in total.

Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and set it back on the parchment-lined plate until cooled. Store in the fridge for about an hour before consuming.
