Yes, you sure can! Any nut butter should really do the trick. There’s almond butter, cashew butter, and so much more available to try.
This is a tricky one. Pumpkin puree yields a much more authentic and less sweet pumpkin flavor, but pumpkin pie filling may also be used in a pinch. Just omit the pumpkin pie spice, as pumpkin pie filling is already flavored with it.
A blender will also do the trick if you have one. Just blend the ingredients together as you would in a food processor until they’re fully combined and have a smooth consistency.
I personally like dark chocolate drizzled on top! However, milk or semisweet chocolate drizzles are also quite tasty.
When I need a fall-inspired snack to help carry me through to my next meal, I love munching on these chewy, peanut buttery chocolate pumpkin bites!
Kids also love having these energy bites in their lunchboxes. As much as most kids love those store-bought granola bars, they may think these are even better!
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the balls, that way they’re all exactly the same size.
- These bites will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just be sure to keep them in an airtight container so they don’t dry out!
- Try to use good-quality honey that tastes like real honey, not the fake sugary sweet stuff that usually comes in the plastic bear bottle. Real honey will have the best flavor!
Made with all natural ingredients and no bake time required, there’s no downside to both making and munching on these easy pumpkin chocolate chip balls. They’re the perfect fall treat!
