I love this time of year. I have always been huge on the holidays & now that I have a child it’s that much more fun to go all-out with the decorating, celebrating and of course- baking!
Or sometimes, lack thereof. Between the pumpkin pie I made last weekend & the pumpkin seeds that will need roasting next weekend, it’s nice to give the oven a break once in awhile. These No Bake Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bites are the perfect, festive solution!
No Bake Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bites
Ingredients:
-¾ Cup Butter, Softened
-1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
-4 Cups Powdered Sugar
–Orange Gel Food Coloring
-Mini Chocolate Chips
Directions:
1. Cream Butter and peanut butter together until smooth.
2. Slowly add in powdered sugar ½ cup at a time. Mix until well combined and the dough is no longer sticky.
3. Add food coloring in, a little bit a time, until you reach the desired color. Mix until color is uniform.
4. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
5. Using your hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Using a toothpick, gently press into the sides, adding 4-5 indentations per ball.
7. Gently place your mini chocolate chip onto the top or your ball, pointed side up.
8. Refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes or until ready to serve.
9. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container.

Hello,
Been looking for a recipe to make for a class and show them how to replace unhealthier ingredients with healthier ones. Any suggestions for replacing the butter and powdered sugar?
Hi! I’m not sure what would work for these, but if you figure something out please let me know, I’d love to share it!
That is such a cute idea!
