Chocolate Almond Treats

Rich, velvety chocolate meets crunchy almonds in these bite-sized treats that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Made with wholesome oats, creamy peanut butter, and a hint of vanilla, these no-bake Chocolate Almond Treats are an easy and delicious snack to whip up anytime.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped almonds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, and honey.

Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Add in the chocolate chips, chopped almonds, salt, and vanilla extract to the dough.

Mix until everything is fully incorporated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the dough.

Once set, use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape the dough into 9 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Place the chocolate almond treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each treat.

Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set the treats before serving.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a better texture.

If your peanut butter is too thick, slightly warm it in the microwave for easier mixing.

If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more oats.

If it’s too dry, add a little more honey.

Chilling the dough is essential, so don’t skip this step! You can also customize these treats by using different types of nuts or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top.

Store leftovers in a single layer in an airtight container to prevent sticking.
