Peanut butter and chocolate is one of my favorite combinations of all time. However, unless I want a stomachache and a face full of acne, peanut butter is out of the picture for me. But that’s ok! Because there is an equally delicious option that I am super excited about and I am sharing it here with you today!
These are adorable little ornaments made with chocolate and Sunflower butter!!! A delicious creamy seed butter that tastes so much like peanut butter it’s amazing.
And I love how they are so cheerful and pretty and very festive. And the girls thought they looked like Christmas ornaments so that is how they got their photo moment!
I loved making these with the girls who are my professional sprinklers and then we have stored these in the freezer until the week of Christmas when we have a lot of events at the house and to go to! Then we can pull these out and put each one in a little candy liner and let everyone enjoy!
- 1½ cup Sunflower butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 10 ounces vegan chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- Sprinkles
- To make the filling, in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the sunflower butter, vanilla and kosher salt. Whip until creamy and completely combined. Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and whip until you have a smooth uniform dough. It will be soft, but not sticky. Set aside. Pinch the balls and then roll it into a smooth ball. Line a sheet pan with wax paper and line the balls up on the sheet pan. Freeze them for at least a few hours.
- In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate. Whisk until smooth and then whisk in the coconut oil.
- Dip the balls in the chocolate and coat them evenly with the chocolate and place each one on the wax paper on the same pan that will still be cold. Put a little pinch of sprinkles on the top of each one and store in the freezer.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I appreciate so much that you recognize that not all of us are peanut butter lovers! It certainly doesn’t love me! I sub Sunflower Seed Butter for it all the time with wonderful results. So thank you for posting something during the holiday season that is not peanut butter and chocolate. It is very much appreciated. Do you think it would work with Swerve since I can’t have sugar as well? I use the chocolate chips made with Stevia instead of sugar all the time and love them–no bitter taste.
Hi Debbie! Yes! Absolutely try this with swerve!
