question

Would you say this suitable for a breakfast item?

I used honey instead of the syrup and mixed nuts. Works just as well. Yum!

Hi, thanks for your question. Honey or maple syrup can be used instead. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

How long do these last for? And do they need to be stored in the fridge?

Hi, thanks for your question. These will keep for about a week in an airtight container in the fridge. They can also be frozen. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Really tasty! Messy to make (hands get covered in cocoa) and mine didn't stick together brilliantly - next time will be more generous with the peanut butter and/or pulse time.

Wet hands a bit It helps with getting more stickiness
