No bake peanut butter bites

At this point we know what you’re thinking: “Now she’s trying to make us eat lentil-chocolate bites. We think she doesn’t have any other food on her shopping list besides lentils”.

Aeeeehhh! WRONG!

You’re all wrong!

Because we don’t have a shopping list. Who’s laughing now, huh?

Don’t you think we can remember the only item, which would be on that list: lentils? We mean we have graduated from university. From a real one.

And while lentils are adorable, cheap yet classy and just an angel in disguise of a tiny powerful health bomb, we do buy other foods too.

Right now we have so many other foods, your head would be spinning if you take a look through our kitchen. There are beans, quinoa, millet, amaranth, bulgur, seeds, spices, fresh veggies, chickpeas, mung beans and that’s just to name a few of the usual suspects.

We are pretty sure even a hungry monster like us can actually survive a month or two only on the food we have here right at this moment.

What a squirrel we are.

All the German people, say squirrel. Everyone else say CHEESE!

Speaking of squirrel, you know what else we have?

That’s right. Peanuts.

And peanut butter.

But actually not – peanut butter is not welcome here. We can’t stand its presence in our house.

Or its presence in the store.

That’s why, whenever we see a jar of peanut butter we make it our mission to destroy it. Right away.

No words. No threats. Just pure silent destruction using a spoon or in most cases a peanut butter finger aka just a finger.

The last time a whole peanut butter jar survived our destructive power for more than 20 hours we had to deal with it quickly.

And deadly.

So we used it for some little peanut butter bites.

Look closely and you’ll see they’re kinda evil.

You need to act quickly yet precisely in order to remove them from the face of the universe.

One of them kinda had a resemblance with Darth Vader.

We guess he was the father of all the other Peanut Butter Bites.

At some point (after 2 bites) we were tired of dunking these little creeps in chocolate one by one.

So we just took the whole peanut mixture and spread it in a small Tupperware tray, then covered it with chocolate and froze for an hour.

And then the massacre begun. 18 more little weirdos were born. Not pretty.

But our Goodness were they satisfying.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY BENEFITS

Even though they seemed creepy, we know deep inside these peanut butter bites are still Gaical at heart. They have a lot of things to show for.

Unlike most peanut butter bite recipes, this one right here, doesn’t use any refined sugar, but only a little bit of agave nectar or maple syrup to sweeten. So these bites are more based on nuts.

Peanuts like all nuts are:

• heart-healthy
• antioxidant-rich
• high-protein
• high-fiber
• suitable for weight loss

On top peanuts are an excellent source of Biotin – a vitamin important for strong and beautiful nails and hair.

So these weird-looking bites may not be the most attractive themselves, but are incredibly rich heavenly satisfying and will keep you healthy, slim and pretty a long time.

Or as long as you need to eat them all satisfying creatures up. Our case – 2 maximum 3 days.

And on top – they’re a solid pre- and post workout snack. Just make sure you don’t finish all of them at once. That’s a challenge.
