Chocolate Almond Ball Ingredients

  • Almond butter: the star of the show, the almond butter has an amazing flavor and provides protein and healthy fat.
  • Almond flour: this helps make it so the balls aren’t too sticky and are easy to eat.
  • Vanilla extract: for flavor.
  • Cocoa powder: the cocoa powder serves as a no-sugar way to make these “chocolate” almond balls. I used Hershey’s Cocoa 100% Cacao Unsweetened.
  • Maple syrup: used to subtly sweeten the almond butter balls.
  • Salt: used for flavor.
