These healthy treats taste like eating peanut butter cookie dough!

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

I would make hummus in the Vita-Mix. I use a food processor but I read you can get it a lot creamier in a blender.
I would love to make chocolate almond butter in a Vita-mix!
These fudge babies would definitely be the first thing I made in my vitamix! 🙂
I would probably make these- and dip them in dark chocolate, which looked amazing.
I would make these first in my vitamix! yummm 🙂
I would make banana soft-serve, my food processor just broke so I’m going through withdrawls!!
I would make these! Chocolate + peanut butter= one of the best flavor combos on the planet!
i would probably make a smoothie first! but these would be right behind.
These sound *AMAZING* ~ especially the buckeye version! If I won the VitaMix, the first thing I would make would be a nut butter…mmmm 🙂
Yum-O!!! I’m definitely excited to try making these with a Vita Mix and then it would be my own almond butter.
Great giveaway!
