Quick and Easy Midnight Desserts

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

  1. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  2. 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.
  3. Fold in the crushed graham crackers or almond flour to give the mixture body and that soft, truffle-like texture.
  4. Scoop into mini bites using a teaspoon and place on a parchment-lined plate.
  5. Chill for 10–15 minutes just long enough for them to firm up.
  6. Eat one straight from the fridge when the craving hits.
  7. 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.
