I’m a little bit obsessed with healthy treats. I have a whole Pinterest board devoted to them.

I have a definite sweet tooth but know that loads of sugar isn’t good for anyone, so I try to incorporate a little nutritious goodness when I make something sweet to snack on. While honey is still at its core just sugar, raw local honey contains some serious nutrients.

Side note: I kind of want to start a bee colony. Would my neighbors hate me? Would I hate me? What is involved? Does anyone want to co-op it? It just seems so exciting to have bees making honey in your own back yard!

Anyways…

Some might call this granola, but I consider it more of a healthy, chewy, shapeless cookie. While I did obviously crumble some into my Greek yogurt with some mini chocolate chips (yeah, you need to do that) I would not want to eat it in a bowl with milk.

This recipe for chewy peanut butter bites is almost a little ridiculous because its just. not. enough. I made this one day as a special treat for the kids and I to eat while watching a movie on the couch and it was gone in no time.

I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but if you have a lot of kids you might want to double this up.
