Healthy Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites…yum!
I’m not a huge fan of long introductions, especially to a yummy recipe, so let’s get to the point. These healthy chocolate covered peanut butter cookie dough bites are a great snack for the older kids or a perfect treat after dinner for mom and dad. They have no additional sugars other than the ones found in the chocolate chips, so you can indulge a bit without feeling guilty. They also pack some protein along with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Omega-3s, the healthy fats are found in the hemp hearts. Hemp hearts have been proven to help in reducing inflammation and are great for momma’s to be and the developing baby’s brain. Hope you enjoy!
