PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BITES

I started to call them energy balls, but I had flashbacks to Alec Baldwin on SNL’s. The skit where he was a guest on Delicious Dish to share his famous Schweddy Balls recipe from his holiday bakery, Seasons Eatings.

So in an attempt to reign in my daily dessert habit, I want to share these peanut butter and chocolate bites.

PEANUT BUTTER + CHOCOLATE BITES

this …

There are so many great things about these bitty bites:

• 5 ingredients
• no baking involved
• no technical prep
• shelf-stable ingredients

INGREDIENTS

And, as if the combo of peanut butter and chocolate was not enough to get you; the five ingredients might! That’s it five ingredients and if I have the ingredients in my pantry you probably do too! I love coconut. I used sweetened but the recipe suggested unsweetened. Is

Is there such a thing?

And chocolate chips. The recipe called for mini chocolate chips, but I did not want to make a run to Kroger for mini morsels. However, looking back, I could have bought the unsweetened coconut with my mini morsel purchase. Does anyone else edit recipes like I do?

It drives my sister and daughter crazy!
