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:

  1. Add dried banana for Elvis Babies
  2. Dip in chocolate for Buckeye Babies
  3. Other dried fruit for Pb&J Babies
  4. Add chocolate chips or cocoa for Chocolate PB Babies

    I would definately make a smoothie with my new Vita-Mix.

  2. Kelly says:

    if I were to win a vita-mix I would definitely be making these bad boys! And smoothies every day!

  3. Sarah says:

    I would either make a Green Monster or these yummy sounding babies first if I won the Vita Mix!

  4. Marie says:

    These fudge babies are definitely worthy of the first thing I would make in my new vitamix! You can’t go wrong with Chocolate and Peanut butter.

  5. Sarah says:

    I would make a green smoothie first in my Vitamix!

  6. Tiffany says:

    These fudge babies are my fave flavor! I love nut butter and chocolate anything! With the Vitamix, the first thing I would make is homemade hazelnut milk. I havent tasted it before but I heard it is richer that almond milk. My blender is so low powered that it would probably break if I attempted 🙂

  7. Leigh says:

    I definitely have to try these!

    Banana ice cream is the first thing I would make in my vita mix!

  8. Sarah A says:

    I would DEFINITELY make these PB babies first with the Vita-mix. My poor old blender sounds like it’s dying every time I use it to mix up a batch of my favorite PB (& choc chip) babies.

  9. Christin says:

    I would make protein ice cream first in my VitaMix! I’ve been dying to do this!!
