Transfer the oat mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining half of the chocolate chips and all the chocolate candies. Mix well to combine.
Take about 1 tablespoon of the oat mixture and roll it in your hands until it forms a ball. Repeat until all the oat mixture has been used. Enjoy!
Additions and SubstitutionsInstead of honey, you can use a maple syrup or agave nectar for plant-based sweetness. Both have a wonderful sticky texture that works perfectly in these bites.You can use other types of chocolate too. You can try white chocolate chips or a different chocolate candy for new flavors and textures.Instead of peanut butter, try making these with almond butter, sunbutter, or another nut butter instead.
