Ingredients
  

1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional but recommended for added texture)

Extra dark chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and pure vanilla extract. Using a spatula, mix these ingredients together until they are smooth and thoroughly combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl with the wet mixture. If you choose to include shredded coconut, add that too. Stir everything together vigorously until the mixture is thick, sticky, and no dry ingredients are visible.

      Shape the Bites: Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball between your palms. Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate. Continue this process until all the mixture is shaped into bites.

        Chill the Bites: Transfer the baking sheet or plate to the refrigerator and allow the bites to chill for about 30 to 60 minutes. This chilling period is crucial as it helps the bites firm up, making them easier to handle and enhancing their texture.

          Optional Chocolate Drizzle: For an elegant touch, melt some extra dark chocolate in the microwave, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring in between until it becomes smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled bites using a fork or a piping bag for a beautiful finish.

            Serve & Enjoy: Once your bites have chilled and the drizzle has set, they are ready to be enjoyed! These delightful bites make for an excellent quick snack or a wonderful dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
