- ½ cup dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well using a wooden spoon or an electric hand mixer set to low speed.

Notes
Storing: store pumpkin bites in an airtight container or large bowl covered with plastic wrap. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also use mini muffin tins to store them (my kids think this is fun). They can be frozen for up to 6 months in freezer safe storage bags.
