Ingredients
- Confectioners’ Sugar (1 pound) – Adds sweetness and a smooth texture to the filling.
- Creamy Sunflower Seed Butter (18 ounces) – A nut-free alternative for a rich, creamy base.
- Unsalted Butter (½ cup, softened) – Binds the ingredients and adds richness.
- Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips (12 ounces) – Creates a glossy, decadent chocolate coating.
Instructions
- Mix the Filling – Combine confectioners’ sugar, sunflower seed butter, and softened butter in a bowl. Blend until creamy and smooth.
- Roll into Balls – Scoop the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Insert toothpicks and freeze for 2 hours.
- Melt the Chocolate – Melt dairy-free chocolate chips using a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Coat – Dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small spot uncovered. Place on parchment paper to set.
- Set and Serve – Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Allergy-Friendly Swaps: Use sunflower seed butter for nut-free, dairy-free chocolate chips for lactose intolerance, and coconut oil for a vegan option.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Serving Ideas: Pair with almond milk, hot cocoa, or sprinkle with crushed pretzels for extra crunch.
