The combination of creamy peanut butter and smooth, rich chocolate is always a winner. The fact that they are so easy to make is just the icing on the cake (or the chocolate on the peanut butter ball!)

Recipe Tips

I use ground almonds in this recipe but they can also be called almond meal. You could use almond flour which is finer than ground almonds but does the same job in this recipe. Unlike some other flours it is totally safe to eat almond flour raw.e
