Notes

  • Use raw honey for the richest flavor and natural sweetness.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
  • Add shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, or chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • These honey treats can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For a healthier version, reduce the honey slightly and increase the nuts or oats.
  • Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top before chilling for a more indulgent dessert. 🍯✨
