Begin by adding the peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener of your choice, and optional salt to a food processor. Blend these ingredients together on low speed for about 30 seconds, or until they start to combine.

Increase the speed of the food processor and blend for an additional 30 seconds to a minute. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.

Once your dough is smooth, it’s time to add any optional ingredients such as chocolate chips or chia seeds. Pulse the processor a few times to mix them in evenly.

Using a mini cookie scoop or your hands, take small portions of the dough and form it into balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Alternatively, flatten the mixture into a baking dish for bars.

Place your shaped brownie bites on a parchment-lined plate or in an airtight container. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

After chilling, your No Bake Brownie Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in a covered container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
