Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (100 grams) finely crushed chocolate graham crackers or brownie crumbs
- ¼ cup (30 grams) cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (60 grams) mini chocolate chips
Binding Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 grams) creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ¼ cup (85 grams) honey or maple syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
- Shredded coconut
- Crushed nuts
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, ensuring a uniform texture for seamless incorporation into the mixture.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend graham cracker crumbs with creamy peanut butter, rich cocoa powder, golden honey, aromatic vanilla extract, and a delicate pinch of salt until a cohesive, dense dough materializes.
- Gently integrate miniature chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent chocolatey bursts.
- If the mixture feels overly tacky, allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to enhance moldability.
- With clean hands or a compact cookie scooper, carefully craft uniform spherical treats approximately one inch in diameter, applying gentle, consistent pressure to maintain structural integrity.
- For enhanced sensory experience, optionally enrobe the brownie spheres in shredded coconut, finely pulverized nuts, or vibrant sprinkles, creating delightful textural variations.
- Arrange the freshly formed treats on a parchment-lined tray, ensuring minimal contact between each morsel.
- Refrigerate the brownie bites for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing them to solidify and develop a pleasant, firm consistency.
- Once chilled, transfer the treats to an airtight container, where they will maintain optimal quality for up to one week in the refrigerator or up to three months when frozen.
- Savor directly from the refrigerator or permit a brief rest at ambient temperature for a softer texture.
Notes
- Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free diets, ensuring everyone can enjoy these delicious treats.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to make the recipe vegan-friendly and accommodate more dietary preferences.
- Experiment with adding protein powder for an extra nutritional boost, turning these bites into a post-workout snack.
- Control stickiness by adjusting honey quantity or chilling mixture longer if the dough feels too soft for easy shaping.
