Method
- 1
Line a tray with baking paper. Beat the peanut butter, dairy free spread, vanilla and salt together until smooth.
- 2
Mix in the icing sugar a third at a time until you have a stiff dough that rolls without sticking. Add a spoon more sugar if it is sticky.
- 3
Roll into 24 balls about the size of a walnut. Push a cocktail stick into each and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
30 min - 4
Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, until smooth.
- 5
Dip each ball in the chocolate by the stick, leaving a circle of peanut butter showing at the top. Place back on the tray and smooth over the stick hole with a finger.
- 6
Chill for 20 minutes until the chocolate has set. Keep in the fridge in a tub for up to a week.
