Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites Crunchy & Salted recipe for you.  My husband is addicted to finding gluten free options since I had to cut it out November 2018.  We found Bixby Milk Chocolate Crunchy Peanut Butter Bites at Winners.   Aside from the soy lecithin, excess sugar and milk chocolate, they are a good option when on the go.

I reached out to my Foodie Fitness friend Ashley of Real Roots and asked her to make me a healthier version to share with our Fit4Females Community.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites 

Warning:  these bites are addicting and my kids love them.  They are vegan, gluten and dairy free.  Ashley tells me I can only have them every once in a while as a treat but I say, “whatever Ashley, life is short, eat the dessert first!” Who is with me?

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites will stay good in the fridge for a while but you will probably eat them before they need to be frozen. Enjoy and leave me a comment below.  Don’t forget to share using the share bars below!
