Carob Balls

5 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter- and you could try chunky)
  • 1 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

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and sweetener. Stir over med-low heat until melty.
  2. 2
    Remove from heat.
  3. 3
    GRADUALLY add the carob powder and stir it in- ditto the sesame seeds.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    Store the balls in the fridge. They freeze great, but you'll have to let them thaw or they'll break your teeth!
