16 drops stevia extract

3/4 cup peanut flour – 12% fat variety

2 tbsp butter
3.5 ounces 85% to 90% cacao chocolate
Instructions:
Step 1: For the filling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and melt together in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Stir in erythritol, stevia and vanilla. Add peanut flour in three batches, stirring to combine well each time. Dough will get quite stiff towards the end.

Step 5: Place back on parchment-lined baking sheet Repeat with remaining balls and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
