Ingredients (makes 14 snowballs)

Cooking time 1.5 hours

1 cup Mayver’s Crunchy Peanut Butter

1 cup peanuts, roughly chopped

1 cup medjool dates, pitted

1 cup desiccated coconut

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup almond meal

300g white chocolate melts

1 tbsp sprinkles, if desired

Method

1. Place the peanut butter, peanuts, dates, coconut, cocoa, almond meal and a sprinkle of salt in a food processor and blitz until well combined. 
2. Using damp hands, roll the mixture into 14 balls (roughly dessert-spoon size). Place in the freezer for 1 hour to firm. 
3. Meanwhile, place the white chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt at 30 second intervals. Stir chocolate in between intervals or until melted and smooth. 
4. Working one ball at a time, place the ball on a skewer and dip the ball into the melted chocolate. Remove from the skewer and place on a lined tray. Repeat with all remaining snowballs and drizzle over any remaining white chocolate. Sprinkle over a small amount of sprinkles. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
