# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One batch makes enough for a week, so you can sneak one whenever you need a burst of energy.
  • They're customizable: you can toss in dried fruit, seeds, or swap out the peanut butter for whatever you have.
02 -
  • Don’t skip chilling—the bites are too sticky to handle if you rush.
  • Using a spatula to scrape the bowl helps save every last bit, especially when the peanut butter fights back.

  • Swapping in maple syrup makes these bites vegan without changing their taste or texture.
