Hi Friends!

I hope you’ve enjoyed meeting all of my guest-posters so far and perhaps found a few new blogs to follow. Things are still a bit crazy around here. I’m still feeling sick, but hanging in there. We moved a couple truckloads of stuff to the new house last weekend and this past week was filled with various appointments to get internet set up, locks changed, carpets cleaned, etc. We’re hoping to finish up the last few repairs at our current house next week and then it’ll be ready to hit the market and *hopefully* sell quickly!

Anyways, today I’m popping in to share a quick recipe of my own for this month’s Recipe Redux. The theme was:

Small Plates For Sunny Days
 
Small bites are perfect for trying many different tastes. Take tapas style eating outside for al fresco dining or a simple picnic. Or maybe you’re serving small bites at a bridal or baby shower or a graduation party. Show us your healthy take on small plates and finger foods.

 I actually first made these no bake bites as bars and they were kind of a fail. They didn’t really stick together and I just had a delicious, but crumbly mess on my hands. When I saw this month’s theme, I thought I might be able to tweak the recipe and make them into small bites.

 

They’re made with simple ingredients, healthy enough for a snack but definitely sweet enough for dessert. You could easily serve them as a kid-friendly, finger food dessert option at a shower, party or cookout.

 

The only downside is that they’re a bit sticky so they’re best stored in the fridge. If you were going to serve them at a party I would either leave them in the fridge until right before serving, or possibly even throw them in the freezer for an hour or so before serving.

 

The white chocolate drizzle is fun and makes them pretty, but it’s totally optional.

  3. These are so fun! I love that they’d be just as good for a party as for a quick meal-prep recipe. Best of luck with the house – I’ve been hearing about lots of quick-selling houses in Columbus, so hopefully yours is one of them!

  4. No bake for the win! I am such a fan, maybe because it’s always hot in Florida, or maybe because I’m just IMPATIENT 🙂 But either way, these look DELICIOUS.
