Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine marshmallow creme, peanut butter, and honey; mix with an electric mixer or wire whisk until well blended.

- Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of mixture into 1-inch balls.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamy texture, ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute almond butter for a nut-free version or use maple syrup in place of honey for a vegan option. If you prefer, mix in some chopped dried fruits or use crushed nuts like pecans for added flavor. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey to your taste.
Serving Suggestions
These delightful treats can be served as a fun dessert or a sweet snack. They pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee. For a festive presentation, arrange them on a platter with a sprinkle of additional shredded coconut or serve alongside Simply Delicious Coconut Pineapple Pie for a tropical twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Creme Doodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you prefer them chilled, enjoy them straight from the fridge. For longer storage, you can freeze them; just ensure they are well-wrapped or stored in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these without marshmallow creme?
Yes, you can substitute the marshmallow creme with a mixture of cream cheese and powdered sugar for a tangy flavor. Alternatively, consider using a vegan marshmallow fluff for a similar texture and taste. Adjust the honey or sugar in the recipe accordingly to maintain the desired sweetness.
How can I make these gluten-free?
This recipe is naturally gluten-free as it contains no wheat products. However, always check the labels of your ingredients, particularly the chocolate bars, to ensure they are gluten-free. You can also use gluten-free oats or a gluten-free flour blend if you wish to customize the texture further.
What is the best way to roll the balls?
To make rolling easier, lightly grease your hands with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray. This will prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before rolling to help firm it up.
