Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bites

Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bites

 A healthier snack or breakfast treat that is wholesome and perfectly salty-sweet.

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups packed dried BD Bing Cherries

1/2 cup BD Honey Roasted Chocolate Peanut Butter

1/2 cup BD rolled oats (GF for gluten-free eaters)

Instructions

Add dried Bing Cherries to a food processor and pulse until only small bits remain - it will likely clump into a ball - that’s what you want. If any big pieces remain, use a knife or spatula to push them down, then turn the machine back on to pulse.

Add honey roasted chocolate peanut butter and oats and pulse a few more times until incorporated, stirring and scraping down sides as needed. If you prefer denser bars, add more oats.

Scoop out 1 Tbsp amounts and roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet or plate. Transfer to freezer to set.

If making bars, transfer to a parchment paper lined 8 x 8 pan.  Slice into 8-10 bars and store in the fridge or freezer to keep fresh.

Will keep in the fridge for several weeks and in the freezer for up to a couple of months or more.
