Follow these straightforward steps to whip up your batch of No Bake Sweet Treats, and feel free to involve the little ones, as I used to help my abuela in her lively kitchen:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
2. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut, if using. This step always reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen, where we would sneak in extra chocolate chips for good measure.
4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. My siblings and I would compete to make the perfect round shapes, a task that was both fun and messy!
5. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
6. Once set, your No Bake Sweet Treats are ready to enjoy. They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
