Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter: If it’s too drippy/soft, you’d need to add a thickener to make a dough stiff enough to roll into balls.
- Chill the dough: This makes it easier to roll into balls.
- Heat treat the flour: Unfortunately, the raw flour may contain harmful bacteria, including E. coli. To make it safe to eat, spread it in a thin layer across a large baking tray. Bake at 350F/175C for 7-10 minutes. Leave to cool, then continue with the recipe.
- Enjoy chilled: If possible, serve these out of the fridge. The more they sit at room temperature, the softer and stickier they’ll become. To avoid mess, serve in mini cupcake cases, with napkins nearby.
