CHRISTMAS PEANUT BUTTER COCONUT CHERRY BALLS
Lynelle's mom knew what she was doing when she made this recipe. It's not your standard chocolate peanut butter ball recipe. It's so much more decadent. The peanut butter filling is smooth, creamy and just melts in your mouth. Maraschino cherries add a lovely cherry flavor while the coconut gives a bit of crunch to every bite....

Steps:

- 3. Put in freezer for several hours or preferably overnight.
- 4. Melt in a double boiler 6 oz chocolate chips and 6 tbsp paraffin.
- 5. Dip frozen balls in and drain over waxed paper on a rack.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy.
- Blend flour and salt, stir into creamed mixture.
- If dough is soft, chill until firm enough to shape.

- Dip dough in egg white mixture, then in coconut.
- Bake on lightly greased baking sheet 15-18 minutes.

Tips:
- Use unsweetened coconut butter. This will help keep the coconut butter balls low in sugar and allow the natural sweetness of the dates to shine through.
- If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using. This will help soften them and make them easier to blend.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they blend well with the coconut butter.
- You can use any type of nut butter you like in this recipe. Almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter are all good options.
- If you want to make the coconut butter balls extra special, you can dip them in melted dark chocolate or roll them in shredded coconut.
Conclusion:
Coconut butter balls are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them plain or dipped in chocolate, these coconut butter balls are sure to be a hit!
