Granola Bites Food

SMORES GRANOLA BITES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat, parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the chocolate in a heat-safe glass bowl and set over a pot filled with an inch of water. Place the pot over medium-low heat and gently cook the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until melted. Add the sea salt.
• Mix the granola, graham cereal and toffee bits in a shallow dish.
• Using two forks, dip the marshmallow rounds in the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Roll in the granola mixture, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate on the baking sheet until the chocolate is set, 10 to 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT GRANOLA BITES

Steps:

• Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a small saucepan with about an inch of simmering water and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat and add the granola and flax seeds and stir to combine. Stick the bowl in the freezer to cool and harden the mixture a little bit, about 6 minutes. This makes it easier to roll the mixture into little balls.
• Arrange the coconut on a large baking sheet. Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, scoop out a small amount of the chocolate-granola mixture and roll it around in the coconut, making little balls. Little bites. Little ball bites. Repeat with the remaining chocolate-granola mixture and coconut.
• Place the tray back in the freezer to harden, at least 5 minutes. Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
