## **What You’ll Need to Make Tiny Tasty Treasures**
This recipe is super flexible and requires just a few ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
### Base Ingredients:
– **2 cups rolled oats** – The heart of the recipe. Oats give these treasures a chewy texture and a bit of heartiness.
– **1/2 cup peanut butter** – You can use creamy or chunky, depending on your preference. It adds richness and helps bind everything together.
– **1/2 cup honey or maple syrup** – A natural sweetener that also helps hold the mixture together.
– **1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract** – A dash of vanilla brings out the flavor and enhances the sweetness of the other ingredients.
– **1/4 cup mini chocolate chips** – A festive touch that adds a bit of chocolatey sweetness in each bite.
– **1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)** – Chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans are great for adding a crunchy element, but you can skip them if you prefer a nut-free treat.
– **1/4 cup dried fruit (optional)** – Add raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots for a little fruity burst in every bite.
### Optional Toppings:
– **Coconut flakes** – To roll the treasures in, giving them a fun and festive look, plus a tropical twist.
– **Extra chocolate chips** – For drizzling on top for a more indulgent treat.
– **Powdered sugar** – For a light dusting to make these even more sweet and presentable.
## **How to Make Tiny Tasty Treasures**
### Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the **rolled oats**, **peanut butter**, and **honey**. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and forms a sticky, cohesive dough-like texture. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
### Step 2: Add Flavor and Texture
Now, add in your **vanilla extract**, **chocolate chips**, and any **nuts** or **dried fruit** if you’re using them. Stir until everything is well incorporated. This is where you can get creative with your additions! If you prefer something extra indulgent, feel free to throw in a bit of chopped dark chocolate or a handful of mini marshmallows.
Step 3: Shape the Treasures
Once the mixture is ready, use your hands to form small, bite-sized balls or press the mixture into a lined baking tray to cut into squares later. The size is up to you, but typically around 1-inch in diameter works perfectly for little bites of flavor.
