Otherwise known as “I’m CHOCO for you! Candies”, these simple Sunbutter chocolates were shared with us years ago by the creative culinary team at Enjoy Life Foods. We've adapted the recipe slightly for corrections and options.
Author: Adapted from Enjoy Life Foods
Serves: 8 chocolates
Ingredients
- 2 1-ounce dairy-free chocolate bars (such as Boom Choco Boom Rice Milk Bars or Dark Chocolate Bars)
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter (such as Sunbutter)
- 1 Tbsp brown rice syrup (can sub another liquid sweetener of choice)
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips (Enjoy Life mini chips melt easily)
Instructions
- Break each chocolate bar into four sections, for a total of eight pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix the seed butter with the brown rice syrup. The mixture should pull away from the bowl and form a ball.
- Place 1 level teaspoon of the seed butter mixture on top of 1 section of chocolate. Flatten and form the seed butter mixture to cover the chocolate piece. Continue with remaining chocolate pieces and seed butter mixture. Cover a tray or plate with wax paper and place finished candies on top.
- Place the chocolate chips in a small plastic sealable bag. Place bag in microwave leaving the top unsealed. Heat in short 15-second intervals gently pressing the softened chocolate to make sure the chocolate melts evenly. When chocolate is almost melted, remove the bag and press out any remaining lumps. Remove any air from the bag and seal.
- With scissors, snip a very tiny hole in one corner of the bag. Beginning on the wax paper, drizzle the melted chocolate back and forth over the candies. Allow chocolate to harden about 20 minutes.
