These chocolate peanut butter bites are so good! They are quite easy (and vegan/gluten-free!) They can be made with any other nut or seed butter, so if you're allergic to nuts don't worry. Hope you enjoy! Side Note: I used a regular tablespoon (the ones you eat with, NOT the ones you measure with!) so please use a regular tablespoon or else it won't work and the dough will be off.

Next, use a half-tablespoon to scoop out little balls and roll them out. Set them in the refrigerator this time for about 30 minutes. I actually placed them on a parchment lined plate.
