Ingredients

2 Coffee Latte bars, chilled and finely chopped
1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
½ cup natural peanut or almond butter
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
Pinch of fine sea salt
1–2 tbsp milk, only if the mix is too dry to hold

Method

1
Stir everything together in a bowl until it forms a sticky, uniform dough. The bar pieces should stay visible — they're the texture.
2
Chill the mixture 20 minutes so the tallow firms up, then roll into 12 balls.
3
Store in the fridge up to a week, or freeze for a month. Straight from the fridge they're firm; after 10 minutes in a pocket on the trail they go fudgy.
