Introduction

No Bake Brownie Bites are a quick and delicious treat perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without turning on the oven. These bite-sized snacks combine rich cocoa and creamy peanut butter into a smooth, fudgy dough that’s easy to make and customize.

The image shows several round chocolate truffles placed on a dark wooden surface. Each truffle is rough-textured with thick, uneven layers of dark brown chocolate coating, with some areas appearing slightly shiny and others matte. One truffle in the center has a small patch where the chocolate layer is thinner, revealing a lighter, creamy filling peeking through. The truffles are spaced apart, creating a simple, rustic look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter (or allergy-friendly substitute)
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup sweetener of choice
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
Optional: mini chocolate chips or chia seeds
Optional: 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: In a food processor, combine the peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt (if using). Blend until the mixture forms a smooth, thick dough, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
Step 2: If using, add mini chocolate chips or chia seeds either before or after blending, stirring them in gently if added after blending.
Step 3: Once your dough is ready, roll it into small bite-sized balls using your hands.
Step 4: Store the brownie bites on the counter for immediate enjoyment, or refrigerate or freeze them for longer shelf life.

Tips & Variations

For a smoother texture, use a food processor rather than a blender to mix the ingredients.
Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter to accommodate allergies.
Add a tablespoon of coconut oil or melted chocolate to make the bites richer and firmer.
Mix in chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow chilled bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to soften. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

How to Serve

Nine round chocolate truffles sit on a dark wooden surface. They vary slightly in shape and each has a rough, textured coating of chocolate that looks thick and creamy with some ridges and swirls. In the blurry background, there is a white tray with light brown pieces, and a white bowl filled with melted chocolate with chocolate drips on the bowl's side. The scene is simple, focused on the rich brown color of the truffles against the dark surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?

A blender can be used, but a food processor is recommended for a smoother, more even texture as it handles thick dough better.

Are these brownie bites vegan?

Yes, if you use a vegan peanut butter and ensure your sweetener and optional mix-ins are vegan-friendly, these brownie bites are suitable for a vegan diet.
