Prep

Ready In
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Combine peanut butter, cereal and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Roll the mixture into 12 balls, using about 2 teaspoons for each. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the balls until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Roll the balls in melted chocolate. Return to the freezer until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
- To make ahead: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
- Tip: To melt chocolate, microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted. Or place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted.

I love this recipe! It is a great, low-sugar dessert- with protein. My kids love them. I like a little sprinkle of coconut on top. The only downside is waiting for them to freeze because I want to eat them right away!
