Peanut Butter Pecan Bites

Press the peanut butter layer WAY thinner than this…I found that a big lump like this gives you too much peanut butter and not enough chocolate & pecan.

Most pecan bite recipes require a cracker or something for the base. But gluten-free crackers are expensive. And anyway, I prefer to bake from scratch. However, if you want to use a cracker, no one’s stopping you.

Unfortunately, this recipe doesn’t quite make the cut for 5 minutes. It took me just a little under 10 minutes to make. But still, a chocolatey pecan bite is only ten minutes away.

Makes about eight bites.

Add cocoa. It makes them doubly delicious.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Layer:

¼ cup peanut butter

¼ cup rice flour

2 teaspoons extra dark dutch cocoa (for an extra-chocolatey pecan bite, optional)

 

Chocolate Layer:

4 chocolate chips for each bite (about 32)

 

Pecan Layer:

1 pecan for each bite (about eight)

 

Put wax paper on a small baking sheet or a pie pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the peanut butter layer together in a bowl until blended. It should be a thick cookie dough.

Roll the peanut butter mix into ½ inch diameter balls and place the balls on the wax paper.

Smash the balls until they are as flat as you can get them.

Put the chocolate chips on the peanut butter layer, pressing the chocolate chips in just a little bit.

Place 1 pecan on top of each bite.

Put the bites in the oven and cook for 5 minutes.

Eat them.

When I'm not mixing up GF goodness, you might find me herding cattle on our family ranch, frantically studying my way through college, procrastinating on homework by reading a good thick book, or bossing people around. Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm so glad you're here. :) [Read More...]
