Notes
Pro Tips: The key to perfect texture is the consistency of your peanut butter. If using natural peanut butter, you may need to add an extra tablespoon of oats to help bind the mixture. Quick oats work much better than old-fashioned oats. Mini chocolate chips ensure chocolate in every bite. If your mixture is too dry, add a tiny splash of water or extra honey. If too wet, add more oats. Let the bites sit for 30 minutes after rolling for the best texture. They freeze beautifully for up to 3 months!
