Look for Malitol at well stocked nutrtion stores or low carb suppliers. Find Stevia in most health fopod stores, and (if you're lucky enough to live in an area that has them) Trader Joe's store.

1 cup peanut butter 1 egg 3/8 teaspoon Stevia 1 cup Malitol 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup almond flour 30 sugarfree chocolate wafers (optional)

When the ball is congealed enough to cut, form into 30 balls and place on two regular or one large ungreased cookie sheets. Press down with a fork to flatten, first in one direction and then in another. Allow room on the cookie sheet for dough to spread between balls. Bake for 8 -10 minutes.
