This year has presented me with a new challenge as the holidays have rolled around:
How do I make candies, cookies, and the other desserts that I love having around during the holidays while still adhering to Trim Healthy Mama guidelines?
I've already posted about my absolute favorite THM holiday dessert recipe – Pecan Pie Bars – but as my sweet tooth seems to have exploded because of all of the delectable recipes posted on Facebook and Pinterest, when I saw BuzzFeed's recipe for M&M Buckeyes I knew that I had to modify them to be THM-friendly ASAP or I would be venturing down a dark rabbit hole of sugar addiction and breaking my almost 2 month sugar – free kick!
Thankfully, the THM cookbook gave me all of the tools that I need to modify this delicious concoction to THM specifications, and you guys:
It tastes amazing, if I don't say so myself!
So jump on the Stevia bandwagon, learn to THM-it-up without depriving yourself, and enjoy the holiday season with these THM Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles {THM:S}

Total time:
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Natural, No-Sugar Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup Melted Organic Butter
- ½ cup Gentle Sweet (could use as much as 1 cup...taste to decide)
- 1 bar Unsweetened Baker's Chocolate
- ¼ cup Gentle Sweet
Instructions
- Combine the peanut butter, butter, and gentle sweet in a bowl.
- Using a cookie scoop, roll portion of the "dough" one by one and lay onto wax paper.
- Freeze the balls of peanut butter for 20 minutes, until firm.
- Melted the baker's chocolate in the microwave on low heat or on the stove using a double boiler. Add in a bit of coconut oil if you desire the consistency to be a little thinner.
- Dip the firm buckeyes in the melted chocolate, swirl around with a fork to coat, and then lay back on wax paper to harden. Once all of the buckeyes have been coated, place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to harden.
- Enjoy!
Oh yum! Can’t wait to try!
Delectably scrumptious!!! Definitely going to have to try these out!
YUM!!! Love on plan recipes, especially ones featuring peanut butter and chocolate.
Thanks so much! I love the sweets explosion – this should help!
My daughter is on a 30 day no sugar challenge- she is seriously addicted to sweets- I am going to make this for her! Looks good
They look delicious! I may have to try making them at some point, thank you!
Mmmmm, this looks and sounds so delicious! I’ll have to try it out!
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely evening.

These look super yummy. Are you supposed to add the second 1/4 cup gentle sweet listed to the melted baker’s chocolate before dipping in the peanut butter balls? Thanks.
Hi Gine! Yes, you are correct 🙂
Could you use truvia instead of gentle sweet and how much
