Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes or less
Chill: 1 hour and 35 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup powdered peanut butter

2 tbsp. fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1 dash salt

1/4 cup natural no-calorie powdered (confectioners) sweetener that measures like sugar

1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Line a plate with wax/parchment paper.

In a medium-large bowl, combine powdered peanut butter, yogurt, and 2 tbsp. water. Mix until uniform.

Add creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well. Add sweetener, and mix until uniform. (Mixture will be thick.)

Roll 1/9 of the mixture (about 1 tbsp.) into a ball. Place on the plate, and repeat with remaining mixture to make 9 balls total.

Freeze for 30–35 minutes.

Place chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 40 seconds. Stir well. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until chocolate has melted.

Spear the top of a peanut butter ball with a toothpick, and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about 2/3 of the ball. Repeat with remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate, placing them on the plate.

Remove toothpicks, and smooth out the indentations. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chocolate is firm.
