Ingredients
Ingredients
- 42 grams (1.48 ounces) slivered almonds
- 250 grams (8.82 ounces) Biscoff spread (smooth or crunchy)
- 135 grams (4.76 ounces) rolled oats (old fashioned or quick oats)
- 60 grams (2.11 ounces) chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
Instructions
- Toast the Almonds: In a small frying pan over low to medium heat, toast the slivered almonds until they turn golden brown. This enhances their flavor. Once toasted, turn off the heat and transfer them to a plate or bowl to cool completely to prevent further cooking.
- Chop the Almonds: After the almonds have cooled entirely, chop them into small pieces to integrate well with the mixture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff spread, rolled oats, chocolate chips, and chopped toasted almonds. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the Mixture: Take a spoonful of the mixture and press it firmly into a ball with your hands. If the mixture is crumbly and not holding together well, add a small amount of water incrementally and mix again until it sticks.
- Chill to Firm Up: Place the formed balls or mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step helps the bites firm up and hold their shape better.
- Shape the Bites: Using a heaped tablespoon (about 21 grams, 0.74 ounces) of the mixture, shape into 24 even-sized balls. Once shaped, you can serve them immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Toasting almonds enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the bites.
- Ensure almonds are completely cooled before chopping to avoid altering the texture of the mixture.
- If the mixture is too dry to hold shape, adding a small amount of water helps bind the ingredients without changing the flavor significantly.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
