Good For You Chocolate Chip PB Bites

Everyone tries to stay healthy, especially following new years. But everyone still gets that craving for something sweet and chocolatey. Well my favorite combo is chocolate peanut butter and I came across this recipe for a good for your version of my favorite combination. Before you judge the ingredients, try them first! I guarantee you you'll love them and they will do the trick for when you want something sweet!
Good for You Chocolate PB Bites
1- 15oz can of chick peas, drained and rinsed well
3/4 cup of all natural peanut butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar (light or dark)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Drain and rinse the chick peas very well. and place them in a food processor. Grind them up until it reaches a smooth paste like consistancy.
Place in a bowl with brown sugar, peanut butter, baking powder, vanilla, and sea salt and beat together until it all mixes and makes a cookie dough like texture. Fold in chocolate chips.
Using a little scoop, or a spoon, scoop out little balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or silmat. 
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Take out and let cool for 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy!
