Ingredients
Balls
0.5 cup margarine
0.12 cup low fat vanilla soy milk
0.5 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1.5 oz vanilla protein powder , 3 tablespoons
0.75 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup chopped walnuts

Chocolate Dip
1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate , about 2 squares
0.5 tsp olive oil

Decorative Glaze
3 tbsp SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
0.5 tsp fresh lemon juice , mixed with water
0.5 tsp vanilla extract


Directions
1 In a saucepan over low heat, melt margarine with soy milk and mix with peanut butter. Stir in soy protein powder, sugar substitute, salt, vanilla, and nuts.
2 Roll into small balls, slightly smaller than a walnut. Put in a container in a single layer and freeze overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
3 Melt chocolate and oil in microwave on high for 30 seconds. Allow to stand 1 minute and stir until smooth. Using a toothpick, dip balls in chocolate. Place on wax paper and store in freezer in an airtight container.
4 Once the balls are frozen, prepare glaze by putting sugar substitute in a cup and adding water and lemon juice 1 drop at a time until a thick paste form.
5 Add vanilla extract slowly and mix. If mixture is to loose, add another teaspoon of sugar substitute. If too thick, add more water. Using a spoon, wave above the balls, allowing the glaze to design freely.
