Low Carb Buckeyes

 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
*2/3 cup Steviva blend (powdered in a nut or coffee grinder)
2 cups whey protein (I used Kaizen unflavored)
1 cup dark chocolate chips (for dipping)

*measure the Steviva Blend before powdering it

 

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, butter, vanilla, protein powder powdered Steviva Blend. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips in a small glass bowl or measuring cup. Stir frequently until smooth.
Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

Makes 48

    Serving size is blank. Should I assume it is one?

    Thought I would let you know our walmart is carring the Hershey brand sugar free chocolate chips that should lower the carb count
