Ancient Grains Granola Peanut Butter “Bites”
*Kirkland Signature by Nature’s Path Organic Ancient Grains Granola with Almonds
These pop-in-your-mouth wholegrain treats are fun to snack on and elegant to serve at a party.
They are easy to assemble – kids love to help – and there’s no baking involved – just chill the “bites” before serving.
At Nature’s Path® we recommend you use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Makes 48 “bites”
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter, preferably non‑hydrogenated, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup liquid (pourable) honey
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cup Ancient Grains Granola*, plus more if needed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries or cranberries
- Generous 1/3 cup finely grated dried coconut, unsweetened
Directions:
- Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper or plastic wrap. Set aside.
- Place peanut butter in bowl of food processor. Pour honey on top and sprinkle with salt. Blend until smooth.
- Add Ancient Grains Granola* and chocolate chips. Process until mixture begins to form a mass, about 30 seconds. If mixture doesn’t form a mass, add 1 to 2 heaping tbsp. more granola and process a few seconds longer. Stir in cranberries.
- Spread coconut out on a plate. Place a heaping teaspoon of granola mixture in your palms and roll into a ball. Roll ball in coconut to coat. Proceed with remaining mixture, setting “bites” about 1/2 inch apart on waxed paper as you go.
- Refrigerate until chilled, about 40 minutes. If not using immediately, refrigerate in a closed container in layers divided by waxed paper for up to 1 week.
