These granola bites are a family favorite, made with peanut butter, honey, M&Ms and chocolate chips! I used a silicone pan with heart-shaped molds to make a creative Valentine's Day dessert. Use any kind of mold you like!
Add all ingredients to a medium-size mixing bowl and stir until combined.
Grease your pan with nonstick spray.
Drop the mixture into the hearts by the teaspoonful, filling to the top of the mold.
Place in refrigerator to firm up.
Store in an airtight container or plastic bag.
Notes
Opt for Old-Fashioned Oats: Old-fashioned oats provide a hearty texture to the granola bites, adding a satisfying chewiness. Avoid using quick oats, as they may result in a softer texture that lacks the desired crunch.
Press Firmly: When filling the silicone heart-shaped mold pan with the granola mixture, press it firmly into the mold using the back of a spoon or your fingers. This ensures that the mixture sticks together and holds its shape once it is cooled and removed from the mold.
Customize with Toppings: Experiment with different toppings to customize your M&M granola bites. Consider adding chopped nuts, dried fruits, coconut flakes, or even drizzling melted chocolate over the top for added flavor and visual appeal. Let your creativity shine to create a snack that suits your taste preferences.
