We live in the same town, but in different neighborhoods. Yet, they’re the exact same type of neighborhood โย the fantastic, really friendly kind. You know, the kind where you canโt get any yard work done because people keep walking by and chatting, and suddenly your weeding project has turned into a backyard bonfire, or an ice cream party on the cul-de-sac. Yeah … we both have great neighbors (and happy, thrivingย weeds)!
Our neighborhoods are also filled with kids. They kinda run in packs. (No, not like wolves or hyenas! More like energetic, fast-moving, giggling, tag-playing, very hungry packs!)
And, theyโre on to us. They know we’re always concocting new recipes and constantly looking for taste-testers.
Sure enough, the other day Shelley got a call from her neighbor, Marrie. (For those of you who are regular readers, you may remember that sheโs the genius friend who spurred one of our most popular recipes ever, our Blueberry-White Chocolate Muffins.)
After chatting away, Marrie got to the point. Sooooooo โฆ her daughter reported trying a new type of Snack Bite and REALLY liked it! Could she please have the recipe? Please???
Should have seen that coming, right?!?!
So, for all our little neighborhood foodie fans that are always lurking around and hoping for new โprototypesโ โ hereโs the latest Snack Bite recipe. And, yes, Marrie โ this is the one your daughter was raving about!ย They taste sorta like Reese’s Cups (yeah โย yum!), but they have all the healthy protein and whole grains you’ve come to expect from our Snack Bites. And, they’re just as easy to make as all the rest. Plus, freezable and no baking required! (Yay!!!! … We can hear your cheers from here!)
Now, we have to fess up and tell you that we’ve been holding onto this recipe for months. Way back last winter we had a “snack-bite-inventing frenzy” because our families just couldn’t get enough!ย So why, you ask, are we unveiling it now? Because tomorrow is National Peanut Day, of course! (Check your calendars โย we’re not kidding!)
Oh, and stay tuned โย we still have a few more Snack Bite recipes up our sleeves! They’re alwaysย among our most popular posts! (Want more of these really quick and easy snacks? See all of our Snack Bite recipes here!)

Deryn, you’re hilarious! Nom, nom, nom for sure! I just sent a bunch of these into work with my husband this morning, so he could share with his coworkers who just adore them. He always takes his own little bag of four Snack Bites (and a banana) as his breakfast … now I just have to hope that all the extra Snack Bites I sent today actually made it to his coworkers, and didn’t end up in his tummy!!! ๐ ~Shelley
Yumm! These look incredibly addicting!! Thanks so much for sharing at Saturday Night Fever! ๐

Oh Cathy, these are SOOOO good! And they are full of really good-for-you ingredients, so there’s no guilt in having one or two (or twelve!) as a mid-afternoon snack or even a dessert! Thanks for stopping by – we’re looking forward to another SNF tonight! ๐ ~G&S
