Diwali Chocolates

I was looking for an alternative to buying Thorntons chocolates this year and came across a recipe for energy balls that I modified to create these amazing Diwali chocolates!

Recipe

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon butter or ghee

Method

In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, coconut, salt and peanut butter.

Add the vanilla essence followed by the honey/ maple syrup.

Mix all the ingredients and add the chocolate chips.

In a nonstick pan and on a low heat setting add the butter/ghee. Add the mixture created slowly and keep stirring gently. Turn off the heat as soon as the chocolate starts melting.

Let the mixture cool and roll into small balls. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
