Chocolate Almond Balls
Makes 2 servings. Depending upon how large you make them, that will be 3-4 balls per serving.
Each serving has:
10 Carbs, 2.5 gms sugar, 7.5 gms fiber (that means only 2.5 Net carbs)
8 gms protein, 40 gms fat
Who say’s low glycemic sweets don’t taste great? These “salty-sweet” little morsels will satisfy even the pickiest sweet tooth you know.
Ingredients
1/4 cup roasted, salted almond butter (you could substitute peanut butter) (remove 1/2 the oil from the top before stirring will produce firmer balls)
1/4 cup Decadent Millionaire Topping
6 almonds
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1 TBL cocoa
2 TBL xylitol
1/4 pkg stevia
Putting it together
1. In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa, xylitol and stevia
2. In a separate bowl, mix almond butter and Decadent topping, smashing it all together well
3. Take 1 rounded tsp of the mixture and roll it around 1 almond
4. Roll the ball in the cocoa mixture, and then (if desired) in the pecans
5. Repeat until you’ve made 6-8 balls.

When using Xylitol please note that it is toxic to dogs, so do not let your four legged friends have anything with Xylitol.

Those are delicious. I’m getting addicted. I’ve made them with almond and peanut butter and they taste totally different. I really cant decide which one I like more. Here’s what I’m thinking: Since these are loaded with protein and healthy fats from the nuts and nut butter and fiber from the coconut flakes and cocoa, tell me again why I would even need to eat ANYTHING else. I could really eat those for breakfast, lunch and dinner, oh yeah and snack, too

I about fell over laughing when I read your post, Bianka! I guess if you throw in a “green smoothie” you’d be good to go!
