Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup refined coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

- Place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the mixture set.
- Take about 1 ½ tablespoon of the mixture out at a time and roll into a ball. Once all of the mixture is rolled into balls, place them on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet back in the fridge so they can set a little longer.
- In a sauce pan on low heat, melt chocolate with honey and coconut oil on low heat.

- Once all of the buckeyes are made, place the baking sheet back in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the chocolate can set.
- Once the chocolate is set you can enjoy!
Notes
Save in a tupperware in the fridge for up to two weeks. Make sure you keep them in the fridge or the coconut oil in it will start to melt and they will become too soft and sticky.
