Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the roasted peanuts, creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended and holds together.
  2. Shape Bites: Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into small bars or bite-sized balls.
  3. Freeze: Place the shaped bites on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  5. Coat Bites: Dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them evenly.
  6. Chill: Return the coated bites to the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture; crunchy peanut butter will add extra crunch.
  • Freeze the bites thoroughly before dipping to prevent melting the peanut butter mixture.
  • Store the Payday Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • To avoid a sticky mess, use parchment paper for freezing and chilling steps.
