Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Add-ins

  • Chopped nuts (such as roasted peanuts or almonds)
  • Shredded coconut
  • Chia seeds
  • Flaxseeds
  • Hemp seeds
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon, cayenne, or espresso powder for flavor boosters

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: Combine the creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Stir vigorously until smooth and well incorporated to create a sweet, flavorful base.
  2. Add Optional Mix-ins: Gently fold in your choice of chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor. Ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
  3. Shape the Bites: Scoop small portions of the mixture using a spoon or your hands and roll into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined tray or plate for easy freezing or chilling.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth and glossy. Stir frequently to avoid burning and achieve a luscious coating.
  5. Coat the Bites in Chocolate: Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully covered. Return them to the lined tray and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the flavor.
  6. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate shell hardens, ensuring a firm texture and a perfect bite.

Notes

  • Choose smooth and creamy peanut butter without added sugar or salt to control sweetness.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Work quickly when dipping to ensure a smooth chocolate coating before it hardens.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform bite sizes and even chilling.
  • Store the bites chilled to maintain shape and freshness.
