Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons of favorite chopped nuts or seeds
- 2 tablespoons of coconut shreds optional
- 1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sprinkles or finely chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Add all the old-fashioned rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup raisins, chopped nuts or seeds, and coconut shreds (if using) to a large bowl. Using your hands, mix together thoroughly.
- Roll the mixture into small balls with your hands, making each about the size of a tablespoon. Place the balls on a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Put the baking sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes.
- After the trail mix balls are removed from the freezer, melt the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler and stir until smooth. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate until completely covered, and place them back on the baking sheet. If using, add sprinkles or finely chopped nuts on top of the melted chocolate.
- Eat immediately, and store any remaining Trail Mix Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes
- One of the many reasons we adore these trail mix bites is how versatile they are and since we probably all enjoy trail mixes with very different components, we can feel free to switch things up. The mix of oats, nuts, and dried fruit is what we need to focus on and that can vary greatly depending on your taste.
