Warm, chocolatey bites with a nutty snap that melt on the tongue. Easy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites deliver a snack-time win in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 320 g (1 1/3 cups) creamy peanut butter
- 180 g (2 cups) rolled oats
- 40 g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 80 g (1/4 cup) honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) kosher salt
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate for coating
- Optional: 30 g (1/4 cup) chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and kosher salt until smooth. Add rolled oats and cocoa powder; mix until combined.
- Portion the bites: Use a cookie scoop or teaspoons to portion the mixture into 24 balls. Roll between palms to smooth, about 10–15 seconds per ball.
- Chill the centers: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm to the touch.
- Melt the chocolate: Microwave chopped dark chocolate in bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip and set: Dip each chilled center into melted chocolate, tapping to remove excess. Place back on parchment and sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired. Chill again until set.
- Serve or store: Transfer bites to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
For best results, use rolled oats, not instant oats. Chocolate should be melted gently to avoid graininess.
