When it’s late, you’re craving something sweet, but you also want it to be simple these little no-bake chocolate peanut butter midnight bites are exactly the kind of comfort that comes together in minutes. Soft, melty, and mini-sized, they’re perfect for those quiet moments when you just need a treat that feels easy and soothing.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy works best)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or almond flour (your choice)
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Optional swaps: - Use almond butter for a lighter sweetness.
- Swap chocolate chips for sugar-free chocolate if you want something lighter.
Steps
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the peanut butter, honey, and salt while the chocolate is still warm. Don’t worry if it thickens — that’s what you want.
- Fold in the crushed graham crackers or almond flour to give the mixture body and that soft, truffle-like texture.
- Scoop into mini bites using a teaspoon and place on a parchment-lined plate.
- Chill for 10–15 minutes just long enough for them to firm up.
- Eat one straight from the fridge when the craving hits.
- Store any extras (if there are any!) covered in the fridge.
Chef’s Tips
- If you want a softer, fudge-like texture, add a little extra peanut butter.
- For firmer bites that hold beautifully, add 1 extra tablespoon of crushed graham crackers.
- Keep them chilled they soften quickly at midnight room-temp snacking levels.
