I still remember biting into my first peanut butter chia jam bite. The cold chocolate cracked, revealing sweet-tart jam and creamy peanut butter. It was like a dessert hug on a rough day. Ever wondered how three simple layers could make magic in your mouth? Now I keep a batch in my freezer always. Try them—you’ll see why.
My Kitchen Disaster Turned Win
My first try? I skipped freezing the peanut butter layer. The jam sank right through, making a sticky mess. But the flavors still wowed my book club. Cooking teaches us to embrace the messy middle. Perfection isn’t the goal—joy is. Have you ever salvaged a kitchen oops into a win?

How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chia Jam Bites
Step 1
Grab a silicone mini muffin pan. Spoon 1.5 tsp peanut butter into each cup. Freeze until hard. This keeps layers neat.

Simmer berries and water until soft. Mash any stubborn bits. Stir in chia seeds and honey. Let it thicken.
(*Hard-learned tip: Let jam cool fully. Warm jam melts peanut butter.*)
