- 1 cup nuts and seeds any combination of almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, peanuts, sunflower, chia, or pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup pretzels
- ¼ cup chocolate or white chocolate chips (or 3-4 fun size candy bars)
- 1 cup regular rolled oats
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup raisins
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup nutella
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Pulse nuts and pretzels (and candy bars if using) in the food processor 5 or 6 times. Add all other ingredients and process until well combined. You can even give each ingredient a quick process as you add them one at a time. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula a few times to get everything incorporated, it's a lot to mix!
Use a portion scoop to form into bites and lay on a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place the whole tray in the freezer for at least an hour before transferring to a container to freeze. Best eaten straight from the freezer!
- Store in the freezer for 4 to 6 months. Delicious when eaten frozen! Can also be eaten raw when first made, refrigerated for 2 weeks, or frozen then thawed.
- A portion scoop works well to form into ball shape. If you don't have a small portion scoop, you can form them into equal sized balls with a spoon and roll them with your hands.
