Halloween Protein Ball Spiders

Looking for a fun Halloween treat to make with the kids? These spooky little chocolate peanut butter spiders are super easy to make, delicious and packed with peanut buttery goodness!

Our marketing manager's daughter, Anna, got into the Halloween spirit and had some fun making these using our Nothing Naughty Powdered Peanut Butter and Vanilla Whey Protein. They're a little messy, lots of fun and perfect for getting the kids involved in the kitchen.

Prep time: 20 minutes | Chill time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup oat flour (or oats blitzed into flour)

• ¾ cup peanut butter (Anna used ½ cup Nothing Naughty Powdered Peanut Butter mixed with ¼ cup water)

• ¼ cup honey

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 scoop (50ml) Nothing Naughty Vanilla Whey Protein

• 290g dark chocolate

• 2 tsp coconut oil

• Pretzels (for the spider legs)

• Edible candy eyes (Anna used baby marshmallows cut in half)

Method:

1. In a bowl, mix together the oat flour, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and protein powder until well combined.

2. Place the mixture in the fridge for around 30 minutes to firm up.

3. Once chilled, roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a lined baking tray.

4. Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated.

5. Place the chocolate-coated balls in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

6. Break the pretzels into small pieces to create your spider legs. Use a little leftover melted chocolate to attach the legs and candy eyes to each ball.

7. Let the chocolate set, and your spooky little spiders are ready to enjoy!

A little tip:

Don't worry if your spiders end up with six legs, eight legs or a few wonky ones. That's all part of the fun!

Happy Halloween!
