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 during Quaranspring, I wanted to share these peanut butter and chocolate bites.
PEANUT BUTTER + CHOCOLATE BITES
There are so many great things about these bitty bites:

And, hopefully, you have these ingredients in the pantry. The dessert I shared last week only had three ingredients and I still had to run to the store to make this cake.
