Ingredients:
2 cups of crushed nuts (almonds, peanuts, or hazelnuts)
1 cup of puffed rice cereal
1 cup of natural peanut butter (oil not separated)
½ cup of honey (or adjust to taste)
2 cups of milk chocolate chips
3 teaspoons of extra virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Cupcake liners
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed nuts, puffed rice cereal, peanut butter, and honey. Mix well until a sticky, moldable mixture forms.
If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes and add more cereal if needed to balance the texture.
- Shape the Bites:
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Coat the Treats:
Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated treats back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Set the Chocolate:
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely. If the chocolate firms up while dipping, microwave it briefly to soften.
- Serve and Store:
Once set, place the chocolate-covered treats in cupcake liners for a polished presentation. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
