These simple Salted Nut Roll Bites go together in just minutes!
I don’t impress my husband very often with the things that I make.
Not that he’s rude about it, per se… just not overly enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm isn’t an emotion my husband knows well. We’ve had many discussions about this.
He’s more even tempered…ALL THE TIME…while I’m more cartwheels and squeals.
It’s just our way.
I am excitable and he..isn’t.
So when I get something more than a, “It’s good”, with a head nod, I deem a recipe a success.
In today’s case I got a “They’re good!”.
See the difference there?
Let’s go over that again:
“Good.”
or
“Good!”
Subtle, yet effective, I suppose.
Anyhow, I knew he would love these.
He’s not a huge chocolate guy, but likes peanuts and the salty/sweet…
These are perfect for lunch snacks, candy trays or even dessert.
Salted Nut Roll Bites.
You can honestly have these made in 10 minutes.. no chilling time required…LOVE a quick treat!
I actually found this recipe on Tablespoon, and it was written by the sweet Real Mom Kitchen. I only made a few small alterations to the recipe..these little bites are too good not to share!
In a bowl combine peanut butter, honey, some chopped Honey Roasted peanuts, a splash of vanilla and a cup of nonfat dry milk…
If you wanted them to be even sweeter (they don’t need it), you could add in powdered sugar instead of the dry milk.
Stir that up.. it will become like a thick cookie dough.
Then portion is out in approximate tablespoon sized portions and flatten them out…
Grab some mini marshmallows…
And just wrap the peanut butter mixture around it.
Now use the rest of your chopped nuts and roll each ball until coated.
Totally simple.
And boom, they’re ready to eat!
Love an instant snack!
Salty, sweet with a chewy center… So yummy!

Notes
Recipe lightly adapted from Tablespoon
These look so good! I love sweet and salty
Oh and ,y family is the same way as your husband. Not excitement. it is such a bummer sometimes!
Oh, man! These look fantastic! Great gift idea, too!
Yum! Sweet and salty all rolled into one! I love it!
Yes! One of my all time favorite flavors marry together into a perfect homemade treat! You are my new best friend 🙂 Plussss they are essentially a non-bakers dream! Like me!
Is it ok to chill these or store this in the fridge?
“Not that he’s rude about it, per se… just not overly enthusiastic.” — Oh wow, mine and yours could be BFFs. I also think that as bloggers, cookbook writers, etc that they become totally immune to what we make and it all blends together for them. If only they were without it for awhile and were forced to eat storebought stale cookies, they may come around and be a bit more …enthusiastic! Lol
I love the Pb/honey/drymilk combo. In my book (I know you have it) there’s a recipe for PB honey balls (in the no-bake chapter) that is similar to these! I never thought to stuff them with marshmallows…great idea!
Wow, your husband and mine must have been separated at birth! When I make something new, I ask my husband do you like it? I get, it’s good. What does that mean? So now, I ask, would you eat this again? Then I will get a yes or no. Of course, I get mad, cause I think it’s GREAT. Then he get’s grilled on what he liked and didn’t like about the dish. And also, he’s not a big chocolate fan which drives me crazy when we go out to eat cause sharing dessert is never an option. Wait, why would that be a problem! BTW, these look amazing! Sorry for the long comment!
Fun! I love snacks like this!
I am married to your husband’s twin! Thankful I an not married to another “me.” Holy sassy molasses – what a train wreck that would be. No room for two cartwhwwlers! Hahahaha! Can’t wait to try this 🙂
Ahh, I love these!! Your husband’s reactions remind me of a couple people I know, lol. Pinning 🙂
