Time 25m

Yield 45-50 balls, 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup smooth peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter- and you could try chunky)
1 cup agave nectar (the nectar's a perfect vegan alternative) or 1 cup corn syrup
1 cup carob powder, sifted (sift then measure)
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup dried shredded coconut

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and sweetener. Stir over med-low heat until melty.
  • Remove from heat.
  • GRADUALLY add the carob powder and stir it in- ditto the sesame seeds.
  • It's easier to roll into balls once the mixture has cooled a little, so if you can, let it sit 5-10 minutes or even refrigerate.
  • Scoop up a chunk with a spoon and roll it into a walnut-sized ball (1 inch) in your fingers. Put it in a small bowl with the coconut and shake the bowl around till the carob ball is coated.
  • Store the balls in the fridge. They freeze great, but you'll have to let them thaw or they'll break your teeth!

Tips:

  • Use a food processor. This will make it much easier to combine the ingredients and get a smooth mixture.
  • Don't over-process the mixture. You want it to be well combined, but not so much that it becomes too sticky.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add more carob powder. You can also try chilling the mixture for a bit before rolling it into balls.
  • Be creative with your toppings. You can use anything from chopped nuts and seeds to dried fruit and coconut flakes.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
