Vegan Chocolate Salty Balls
Vegan Chocolate Salty Balls
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
vegan chocolate chips (or chocolate bar, or other source of vegan chocolate)
peanut butter
sunflower seeds (or other nut/seed)
powdered sugar or dry vegan cookie mix (optional)
Directions:
These can be easily made from the comfort of your ovenless dorm room. They are easy, vegan, bakeless, and delectable.
Mix your desired amount of peanut butter and sunflower seeds together in a bowl. Spread out some powdered sugar or cookie mix (I used Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookie mix, it is vegan and if you have an oven, soy margarine and egg substitute can yield you delicious Ghirardelli cookies) if desired, you could just refrigerate balls of peanut butter and sunflower seeds if that's your thing. However I prefer to roll spoonfuls of this nutty mixture in the cookie mix so it is no longer so sticky, then put it on a plate or whatever and refrigerate it for a few hours. Then melt your vegan chocolate in your microwave, or a friend's microwave, and roll the balls until they are saturated with gooey chocolate secretions. Pop them on a plate and refrigerate until hard.
Yum. No seriously they're so good guys, you can even bite them like normal chocolate, they are moist and malleable inside, crisp and chocolate outside. Chocolate salty balls. For real.
Sorry about having no amounts but I don't even have any measuring cups and seriously it doesn't matter how much peanut butter, chocolate, or sunflower seeds you use - whatever looks good to you.

My version, based on what I felt like eating and what I had on hand.
- Put about 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter in a damn glass bowl.
- Chop up pecans into chunks and dump into bowl.
- Throw in vegan choc chips (I only had about 1/4 to 1/8 bag)
- Add sunflower seeds
- Toss in about 1/2 cup of flax seed powder
- Add about 1/8 cup whole wheat flour
- Add about 1/4 cup of agave
Spoon out in gobs and roll into balls. Then roll the balls around to coat them in this mix.....
- Powdered sugar
- Turbinado
- Sesame Seeds
Then refrigerate.
Yum. Each one is about 200 calories, if you make them golf ball sized. This is not a low cal treat. Will satisfy cravings for sweet, salty, and protein.
Use caution, feed to friends.... get out of your house as soon as possible. Avoid being a human dumpster.
