I just love the ease with which these scrumptious and decadent bites of brownie bites comes together.

Rest a bit and form into smooth, delicious balls of peanut butter brownie deliciousness! Time to pop them in your mouth to transport yourself to peanut butter-chocolate heaven and do the happy dance! This is going to my “must make often” recipe repertoire to rustle up and enjoy again and again! I am sure once you make these, it will be your favorite too.
MAIN INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE BITES:
Peanut butter- creamy, natural and sugar free peanut butter is best. But if you love some crunch and texture in your brown bites or snacks, feel free to use crunchy peanut butter. If using peanut butter with sugar in them, adjust the amount of honey/maple syrup accordingly. You can substitute with almond butter. You can use almond butter too if that is your choice or you have only that. Chocolate chips – I have used dark chocolate chips but you can use semi sweet or even milk chocolate also. If making it vegan, use vegan chocolate chips. Honey – just make sure you add honey to warm mixtures; never recommended to use honey in hot foods. If vegan, use maple syrup instead. Almond flour – you have to use fine almond flour and not almond meal. Cocoa powder – unsweetened cocoa powder Salt – just a pinch
HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS 5-MINUTE PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE BITES:
In a microwave safe bowl (or in a double boiler over a stove), mix peanut butter and chocolate chips and melt using 30-second bursts until the chocolate chips start to melt. Remove and stir well to make a smooth mixture. Do not make it hot; you need a warm mixture with the chocolate chips just melted in. When the chocolate chips have started to melt, remove from heat and stir with spoon until they are totally melted. At this point, the mixture should be warm. Return to heat if you feel the chocolate chips need a dash of heat to further help in melting. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and stir again.
Stir in almond flour, cocoa powder and salt. Using a silicone spatula or spoon or even using clean hands, make a smooth and homogenous mixture. Knead until smooth and satiny.
Rest a while. I popped it into the fridge until I could form smooth, firm balls. Remove and form into bite sized balls. Enjoy and if any, store leftovers at room temperature for a couple of days. Our family loves them cold, so I chilled them in the fridge. Happy Snacking!
