Ingredients:
1 cup old fashioned or gluten-free oats
1⁄4 cup natural peanut butter
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
40 unsalted mini pretzels
4 tsp dark chocolate chips
1⁄2 tsp water
Directions:
In a small bowl combine oats, peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract. Using a
food processor, pulse 10 mini pretzels to a fine powder. Pour onto a shallow
plate and set aside. Use the food processor again to pulse the remaining 30
mini pretzels into quarter of an inch pieces. Add oat mixture and pulse until
slightly smooth (like 5 short pulses). Don’t over process or the batter will turn
too runny to roll into balls. Spoon batter back in bowl. Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper. Using a teaspoon, scoop oat mixture into your hand and roll
into a ball. The ball should be less than an inch round. Place ball in pretzel
powder and roll until evenly coated. Place on baking sheet and then repeat the
process until batter is gone. Put chocolate chips in a small microwavable bowl.
Use the defrost setting until chips soften — stirring every 20 seconds. When
chips are melted, stir in 1⁄2 tsp of water. The chocolate should slide off the spoon
easily — if it doesn’t, add another 1⁄4 tsp of water. Drizzle the chocolate over the
balls. Place the baking sheet so it is level in the freezer and freeze for 15-20
minutes. Store balls in the freezer in a freezer safe bag or container.
