I think I have waited long enough after the holiday craziness to approach baking again.  I got a little burned out over Christmas and I needed a break.  This hardly counts as baking; it’s so easy.  Five ingredients that are pantry staples and you are done.  Sometimes you just gotta have a little something sweet and salty.  Impromptu neighborhood party → these are the ticket.

I’m so excited for you to try this recipe.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how well they turn out.  If you prefer a less salty flavor by all means use a low salt peanut butter.  If you have peanut allergies try almond butter.  I haven’t tried that yet so let me know how it works. These are so easy that my daughter Maddie makes them on her own.

Oh yeah, added bonus they are gluten free!  Just be sure to use gluten-free chocolate chips.  I love the Enjoy Life mini chips.

This recipe is from General Mills and The Girl Who Ate Everything.
