# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No oven means you can make these anytime without worrying about turning your kitchen into a sauna.
  • The peanut butter and honey combo gives a boost of energy and keeps hunger at bay, which is perfect for busy days.
02 -
  • If you don’t chill the bites, they’re too soft and make a sticky mess—so patience pays off.
  • Measuring the peanut butter carefully keeps the mixture from getting oily or too dry; eyeballing can lead to uneven bites.
03 -
  • A quick spritz of oil on your hands can tame stickiness when rolling bites.
  • Mini chips are far easier to incorporate than regular-sized, so switch if you haven’t tried them yet.
