These healthy treats taste like eating peanut butter cookie dough!
(Above, chocolate peanut butter babies)
Peanut Butter Babies
(Makes 120 grams, which is a tiny bit more than the size of two Larabars)
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts (30g) (I use roasted-unsalted, and I add about 1/8 tsp plus 1/16th tsp salt.)
- scant 2/3c dates (80g) (I use SunMaid, because they’re super-soft.)
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips or cocoa powder
Blend the ingredients in your food processor (I used a Magic Bullet short cup). Smush into bars, roll into balls, or use cookie cutters! These peanut butter fudge baby bars taste divine warmed up a little in the microwave.  Oh who am I kidding? They taste divine ANY way you choose to eat them.
Pb’s brothers and sisters:
- Add dried banana for Elvis Babies
- Dip in chocolate for Buckeye Babies
- Other dried fruit for Pb&J Babies
- Add chocolate chips or cocoa for Chocolate PB Babies

YES YES YES PB babies are the new fudge babies. I know you probably love all tus bebes equally, but I’m a PB over choc chica anyday 🙂
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than fudge babies…
oh, pooks – if you ever need be to babysit you’re babies don’t hesitate to ask.. and if one happens to go missing, well, it wasn’t me 😉
Great idea! You could save tons on Larabars!
Oh my goodness, peanut butter cookie dough??? Yes please 😀 Love how yours is perfectly shaped!
How about add some instant coffee and make MOCHA BABIES?!
Great! They looks scrumptious 🙂
Oh wow! I need to try these asap! Would you mind telling me what 90 grams of dates is in cups and what 30 grams of peanuts is also?
How are you and your green beau doing today? Frankie and I are already talking about taking up residence in his castle 😉 Your oatmeal ideas actually make me think one day I could like oats!
there are no words besides YUM!
I’m liking the Buckeye (go Bucks!) baby idea. 🙂 I’m glad you put the link for date advice in your post. I wasn’t sure what kind to buy. I feel like these = good study snack, muahaha.
