Craving a satisfying, wholesome, and indulgent treat? We’ve got you covered.
Ingredient List
- 2 Fibre One™ 90 Calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownies (24g each)
- 10g four seed mix (see Tips)
- 30g smooth peanut butter
- 8g unsalted pistachios or peanuts, very finely chopped
Preparation
- Base: Crumble two Fibre One™ 90 Calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownies into a medium bowl until fine and crumbly. In a rush? A few quick pulses in a blender will do.

How to customise the recipe for your taste
Swap out the peanut butter for other nut or seed butters like almond, cashew or sunflower seed butter to explore new flavour combinations. Each variety offers a unique taste and texture, ensuring your snack is always exciting.
Cooking Tips and Tricks
- For an extra tasty crunch, lightly toast your seed mix in a dry pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding it into the brownie mixture. Stir frequently to prevent burning—your bites will gain an irresistible crisp texture.
- Finding it tricky to form perfectly round bites? Slightly dampen your hands before shaping them; this stops the mixture from sticking and helps you achieve neat, evenly-sized balls every single time!
- Prefer a little extra richness in flavour? Swap smooth peanut butter for crunchy peanut butter—it’s a simple switch that adds depth and extra texture.
- If nuts aren’t your thing or you’re preparing a batch for a diverse group, sunflower seeds or toasted shredded coconut work beautifully as substitutes for pistachios or peanuts.
- Remember to store these bites in an airtight container in your fridge—they taste even better chilled and will keep fresher for longer, making snack time quick and convenient.
- Short on prep time? Combine all dry ingredients in advance—store in a container and mix in peanut butter only when ready to make your bites. You’ll streamline your prep and be snack-ready in minutes.
- Customise your bites to suit your taste—add dried cranberries, raisins, or even small pieces of dried apricot alongside the seeds for bursts of sweetness and chewy texture.

Troubleshooting Guide
If your snack bites aren’t forming easily into compact shapes, the texture is likely too dry. Try incorporating a little extra peanut butter, adding it gradually, teaspoon by teaspoon, until a more pliable consistency is reached.
