Anyone who knows me knows about my love for peanut butter cups...but this is a new take on it: Homemade peanut butter balls made from all natural peanut butter (with no added salt or sugars!), simply frozen and coated with chocolate. Need I say more? I promise this recipe is so easy, the hardest part is refraining from nibbling on these before they're all ready! 

INGREDIENTS 
Makes x16 chocolate peanut butter balls

3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp almond flour
1 cup chocolate chips
Parchment paper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Measure out 1/2 tsp peanut butter and form into ball with palms, then roll ball in almond flour and set on parchment paper. 

2. Repeat step #1 until peanut butter is gone, then place in freezer for 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, create double broiler to melt chocolate chips, this is the best way to ensure your chocolate will be smooth and melted! But if microwave is your only option, place chocolate chips into a small bowl and heat in small increments of 15-30 seconds, stirring each time so it doesn't clump or burn! 

4. When chocolate is melted, coat balls in chocolate, place back onto parchment paper and freeze for 10 minutes.

Enjoy! xx

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bunch kale
• 1 tbsp olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With a knife or kitchen shears remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner or towel. *You must make sure these are dry or else you might end up with limp kale leaves! Spread kale pieces onto parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Toss the kale until they're evenly coated, and bake for 12-15 minutes, as oven settings may vary.
