  • 6 TB sunbutter unsweetened
  • 3 TB butter softened
  • 1 ÂĽ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Cream together the sunbutter and butter. (No mixer needed! You only need a fork for this if your butter is soft enough.)

  • Add the sugar ½ cup at a time—you only need enough to make it stiff. It should be a bit crumbly; it’ll all come together when you scoop it.

  • Add the vanilla and keep mixing. Scoop out a 1.5 tablespoons (#50 cookie scoop), roll it in your hands to smooth out the ball and place it on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Repeat 15 more times. Place the pan in the freezer.

  • Make a double boiler: fill a small sauce pan with about 2” of water, top with a kitchen towel and place a heat-safe bowl on top. Bring to a simmer.

  • Place the wax in the bowl and melt.  Add chocolate and mix well with melted wax.
  • Using a toothpick, dip each sunbutter ball in the chocolate, leaving just the top of the butter exposed.
