This vegan chocolate peanut butter balls recipe is gluten free, refined sugar free, (almost) raw, vegan and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I love how quick and easy it is, and it’s always a crowd pleaser. Sometimes bliss balls can turn off people who don’t eat many raw vegan desserts. HOWEVER these vegan chocolate peanut butter balls don’t taste like your traditional bliss ball. They taste more like chocolate peanut butter cookie batter… Now that I’ve got your attention go forth and make these delicious littler balls!
Total time: 12 minutes
