Healthy Truffles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon butter (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, or more as needed

Preparation

Combine peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey, coconut oil, butter, and vanilla bean paste in a saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and transfer peanut butter mixture to a bowl.
Refrigerate mixture, stirring every 5 minutes, until truffle mixture is firm yet sticky and soft enough to shape, about 15 minutes.
Pour coconut flakes into a bowl. Drop truffle mixture, about 1 teaspoon per truffle, into coconut and roll to coat. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
