Ingredients

  • ¼ cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips preferably dark but you can use semi sweet or milk chocolate
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup plus 3 tbsp almond flour or as needed

Instructions

  1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat peanut butter and chocolate chips in bursts of 30 seconds until chocolate chips start to melt. You can use a double boiler (on stove top) to do this too.

  2. Remove and mix using a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and all the chocolate chips have melted. Continue to heat for a few seconds if still needed. Ultimately you need a warm mixture; not hot.
  3. When warm and not hot, stir in honey.
  4. Add almond flour and cocoa powder with salt and mix again well using a silicone spatula to form a homogenous and smooth mixture/dough.
  5. Cover and place in refrigerator to chill slightly. This step is crucial to help in form balls.
  6. When almost firm,  form into smooth, shiny bliss brownie bite balls!
  7. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Adjust the amount of flour and honey according to consistency and taste.
  • Stir in honey only to warm mixture and not hot!
  • If vegan, use maple syrup.
  • It is recommended to use only "fine" almond flour and not almond meal.
  • Can substitute peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) with almond butter.
