Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Orbs

These chocolate peanut butter orbs are our new favorite vegan treat. There is no better way to get your plant- based protein in than during dessert. These vegan snacks are perfect to give to friends and family, (or enjoy alone as a late night snack). Our no- bake truffles are also conveniently sized and include zero added sugar. A food processor is recommended to make this recipe effortlessly fun. All credit goes to Ira Goldberg for creating and sharing this delicious, year- round treat. To make this a nut- free recipe we suggest replacing the peanut butter and peanut powder with soynut butter or sunflower seed butter. To enjoy these orbs for a special occasion we suggest adding toppings such as sprinkles, peppermint or crushed almonds to the chocolate before freezing. The possibilities are endless and we welcome you to make this recipe your own!
