1/3cupchocolate chipsI used Nestle Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
1/3cupdried cranberries, lightly chopped
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl add all of the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then add the heated peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until all of the ingredients are well incorporated. The chocolate chips may melt slightly with the addition of the heated peanut butter, but this is ok. The chocolate acts as a binder and adds lots of chocolate flavor. Refrigerate the mix for about an hour for everything to set.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the mix into 2 tablespoon size bites. The bites can be enjoyed at room temperature or straight from the fridge. I recommend storing the bites in the fridge.
