These vegan buckeye balls are soft, fudgy peanut butter balls with a crunchy dark chocolate shell. They are slightly sweet with a strong peanut butter caramel flavor from the maple syrup. They don't taste like coconut, even if the recipe uses coconut flour and a touch of coconut oil. If you really don't like coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil in this recipe. You can replace coconut flour with 4 times more almond flour, but the balls will be very soft and much more difficult to shape.
