Ingredients
Scale
Snack Bites
- 1 cup large flake rolled oats
- ½ cup Kraft crunchy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup salted peanuts, chopped
- ½ cup Baker’s semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the crunchy peanut butter and honey. Stir them together thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated, creating a sticky base for the snack bites.
- Add dry ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats and chopped salted peanuts. Stir gently to evenly coat the oats and peanuts with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
- Mix in chocolate chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture without melting them.
- Form bite-sized balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together well.
- Chill to set: Place the formed snack bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and maintain their shape.
- Serve and store: Once chilled, enjoy the snack bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit the peanuts.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet alternative.
- To add extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.
- These bites can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
