Peanut Butter Brownie Bites

I mentioned  awhile ago that I'm on a peanut butter kick. I trying to use up what I have in the pantry. This recipe is from
chocolate covered KATIE.

Oh, this is also a no bake recipe! Perfect if your summer is as warm as ours.

I changed a few things. I substituted Watkins Caramel Extract for the vanilla called for in the original recipe. I also did not add the chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup peanut butter (or allergy-friendly alternative)
1 tbsp  cocoa powder
1/2 tsp Watkins caramel extract
jam-packed 1/4 cup dates (6 very small)
if using unsalted peanut butter, add a pinch of salt
1 tbsp water
Optional- few mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Combine the first 5 ingredients (and salt, if using) in a food processor (not a blender unless you must) and process until fine crumbles form.

 Add the water and process again.

Remove mixture from the food processor. Roll into a ball.

Place the ball in a small plastic bag and refrigerate for about an hour.

Remove the ball from the bag. Break off pieces and roll into mini balls.

Enjoy a few and return the rest to the refrigerator for when you need a little treat!
