Ingredients Needed
medjool dates – the natural sweetness and sticky texture of dates hold everything together while adding a caramel-like flavor. My two favorite brands of Medjool dates are Natural Delights (found at local grocery stores) or Joolies, which I buy through Thrive Market. old-fashioned rolled oats – adds a bit of texture and fiber to balance out the sweetness. natural salted peanut butter – gives that creamy, salty peanut butter flavor we all love. Make sure to use a natural version for the best consistency! chocolate chips – I love using Lily’s chocolate chunks for this recipe. They melt perfectly and make the coating extra rich. coconut oil – helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a nice, glossy finish when it hardens.
How to Make

Let your little ones roll the peanut butter mixture into balls—it’s sticky, messy, and so much fun. Plus, who can resist sneaking a few tastes along the way?
