Homemade Peanut Butter Bites

These little peanut butter bites are super easy and they taste just like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. These little guys are a no-brainer!

 I made these one day while I had a cheesecake was in the oven. They were pure experimentation but they turned out pretty awesome. You might recognize the melted chocolate recipe from an earlier post on chocolate covered almonds.


Yields: 12 small bites 
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter (no additives)
• 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

1. Prepare a plate with a sheet of wax paper on top for the peanut butter bites to be rested on.

2. In a small bowl mix together peanut butter, confectioners sugar and flour. Mix until combined and set aside.

3. In a microwave safe bowl, put the chocolate chips and canola oil in the microwave and heat for 20 seconds. Stir and heat for another 20 seconds. Stir again and then give it another 20 seconds if needed.

4. Roll the peanut butter mixture into small 3/4 inch balls and dip in chocolate using a spatula or spoon. Rest each one on the wax paper.

5. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
