Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 15 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of peanut butter, ¼ cup of honey, and ¼ cup of cocoa powder. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together until well combined.
- Add ¼ cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, you can dampen your hands slightly with water to make rolling easier.
- Place the formed bliss balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a plate. Make sure to leave some space between each ball.
- Once all the mixture has been rolled into balls, you can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to help them firm up, although this step is optional.
- After chilling, your Peanut Butter Chocolate Bliss Balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Consistency is Key: If your mixture feels too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter. If it's too wet, sprinkle in some extra oats.
- Hands Technique: Dampen your hands with water when rolling the balls to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- Chill for Perfection: While optional, refrigerating the bliss balls helps them firm up and enhances their texture.
- Customization Options: - For a protein boost, add a scoop of protein powder - Use dark chocolate chips for a healthier twist - Roll the balls in shredded coconut or crushed nuts for extra crunch
- Storage Tip: Keep these bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, making them a perfect make-ahead snack.
- Make Them Ahead: These balls are great for meal prep and can be frozen for up to a month!
