Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
chunky peanut butter
-
1/3 cup
honey
-
1/2 teaspoon
real vanilla extract
-
2 cups
old fashioned rolled oats
-
5
dried, unsulfured apricots, diced into 1/4? chunks
-
4 ounces
good quality dark chocolate, chopped (or chips)
-
1/4 cup
heavy whipping cream
-
flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
Directions
-
Combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir. Add oats and apricots; stir until thoroughly combined. Scoop mixture into individual sections of a silicone or regular ice cube tray. Press firmly to form cubes.
-
Combine the chocolate and cream in a glass bowl; place over a pan of simmering water. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Spoon the chocolate mixture over each bite and smooth with a spatula. Lightly sprinkle the top of each bite with flaky sea salt. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chocolate is firm. Remove bites from trays, transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat.
