Healthy chocolate covered Cookie dough balls- low in refined sugar

These are healthy- low carb and low in refined sugar! Perfect for everyone but particularly those of you with PCOS.

A regular cookie dough recipe contains 14g of sugar per ball.

This recipe contains 3g! Winning!

These don’t take long to prep and you can store them in the fridge! I reckon they’d freeze well too!

This recipe makes 8 cookie dough balls

Things to note the dark chocolate matters! Opt for a higher cacao option. I used Lindt 85% it’s low in sugar at 11g per 100g.

Other brands of dark chocolate contain upwards of 45g of sugar per 100g!

You also want to use a no palm oil peanut butter - Meridian brand is fabulous- such a healthy peanut butter option! And it’s not pumped full of sugar!
