I remember as a child my Mom would make MANY Christmas treats around the holidays because we would always have people visiting. My family is quite LARGE and they like to eat!  Both my Father and Mother were 1 of 12 siblings. Back then they just popped them out like pez dispensers (haha). Can you imagine?!

Anyways, my favorite treat of all time were the chocolate-dipped Peanut Butter Balls. Mmmmmm. However, over the last few years, I developed an allergy. Not an allergy that hospitalized but one where I would break out in welts and painful sore spots. I couldn’t figure out why. After a long trial and elimination of skin care products and food, I have concluded my allergy is COCOA. Yup, you got it, chocolate!

Noooo! That meant I had to say goodbye to beloved chocolate and then *gasp* my peanut butter balls.

This year I was determined to re-create my favorite treat without the chocolate and SUGAR because well who needs an overload of sugar anyways?! The original recipe had 1 CUP of powdered sugar!

I did it! Yummy Peanut Butter Balls Guilt-free.
