Author: Miss CandiQuik (Adapted from Texanerin Baking)
Serves: 24
Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup + 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (can also substitute with almond or other nut butters)
¼ cup honey (may also use agave or maple syrup)
Pinch of salt
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Drain and thoroughly rinse chickpeas. Place chickpeas, vanilla, peanut butter and honey in a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Using a spatula, scrape mixture into a medium sized bowl and place mixture in the freezer until somewhat firm, about 20 minutes.
Roll mixture into 1″ balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
Place back in the freezer to chill for approximately 30 minutes.
Melt Chocolate CANDIQUIK in Tray according to package directions.
Using a spoon, dip each ball into chocolate coating and place on wax paper to set; sprinkle if desired.
Notes/Tips
*These cookie dough bites are very soft. I found it easiest to dip these by placing the ball on a fork, lowering them into the coating and using a spoon to pour the coating over the ball.
*Store in an airtight container (best in the refrigerator) for up to 5 days.
