No Baking Winnie the Pooh Peanut Butter and Honey Bee Mines

These delicious bite size Honey Bee Mines are made from Peanut Butter and Honey. They are so tempting to eat that even Winnie the Pooh could not say no! The yummy recipe is found on family.disney.com

Everyone knows that Winnie the Pooh loves his honey. In fact, he has created several problems with his pursuit for honey in the Hundred-Acre Wood. But in all honesty, I can’t blame him, raw honey is one of the most yummy treats a person can devour. That’s why when I found this Honey Bee Mines recipe I had to share it. They are great for anytime snacks because they are so easy to make, but I would suggest making them today to celebrate Winnie the Pooh Day.

How to make:
I made a change to the recipe and specified Raw Honey to make these even more delicious.
Allow 1 hour to make these Honey Bee Mines. They need to harden after all the ingredients have been mixed together. There is no baking or cook time which makes this recipe easy and safe for kids to help make.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 1 1/4 cup crushed crisped rice cereal (Crush it by putting the cereal in a bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin)
  • Small microwavable bowl
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • Slivered almonds
Directions:

  1. Combine the peanut butter, butter, honey, and crushed crisped rice cereal in a bowl and stir until well mixed.
  2. Shape teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and chill them until firm.
  3. Measure the chocolate chips into a microwavable bowl and heat them in the microwave for 15-second intervals, until they are melted (note: they won’t lose their shape). Stir the chocolate until smooth.
  4. Drizzle chocolate stripes over the honey balls (see image).
  5. For bee wings, set two almond slivers on top of each honey ball, using a dab of chocolate to secure them and fanning them toward the sides just a bit.

Makes about 2 dozen.
Healthy and yummy snacks are now ready to eat thanks to Winnie the Pooh!
Happy Winnie the Pooh Day!
