These Caramel Balls are a delicious and nutritious snack that combines the sweetness of caramel with the texture of oats and the richness of almond butter.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened, unsalted almond butter
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, halved
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, divided
Method:
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, almond butter, caramel sauce, salt, 3 tablespoons of the chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of the coconut.
Roll the mixture into balls, using a heaping tablespoon for each, and place on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
Toast the remaining 3 tablespoons of coconut in a frying pan over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips in a small microwaveable bowl; microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Microwave for a further 30 seconds if necessary.
Spoon the melted chocolate into a small plastic bag, cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the balls.
Roll the balls in the toasted coconut and leave until the chocolate has set.
