Not gonna lie, I pretty much eat all of mine within two days. So I don’t know exactly how much ahead you can make these and store them in the fridge, but 3-5 days should work. I would usually make a bunch, put them in an airtight container, put that in my smaller cooler bag and just go wherever I need or want to go that day. They’re the perfect snack – not too sweet, but sweet enough and filling enough.

How To Make Them
As I mentioned, this is a super easy process, so you can even involve your kids:
- Step 1: Mix all ingredients for the peanut butter part in a bowl
- Step 2: Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil and mix it with peanut butter.
- Step 3: Put the peanut butter part in muffin cups (I used silicone muffin cups – was really easy to pop them out!), then top with the chocolate. Finally sprinkle some coconut on top! I would also recommend a little bit of sea salt (I forgot to do it in this video, but I’ve been adding some lately and it’s even more delicious!)

- Step 5: Pop them out and enjoy!
And that is it! Simple, easy and super tasty breakfast or snack on the go.
