Notes

  • Mini chocolate chips are great for this recipe if you’re able to find them! Alternatively, you can use different types of chips like white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, caramel chips, and more!
  • If you’re out of honey, maple syrup works as well.
  • To make portioning them easier, you can use a cookie or meatball scoop. 
  • If you’re having difficulties rolling the balls, you can let the mixture chill in the fridge for a while to firm it up.
  • If you are still having trouble rolling the balls, you can add more honey or peanut butter to the mixture.
