Cooking Steps
Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Remove and discard any large stems from kale if necessary. Pat very dry with paper towels. TIP: Patting kale very dry ensures that it won't steam, guaranteeing an extra-crispy texture.
Toss kale on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, Everything Bagel Seasoning, and a big pinch of salt and pepper; spread out in a single layer. Bake on top rack until crispy, 15-20 minutes. (For 4 servings, toss everything together in a large bowl; divide between two baking sheets and bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
While kale bakes, in a medium bowl, combine almonds, cashews, pepitas, hot honey, half the plain honey, and a pinch of salt; stir to evenly coat.
Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread nut mixture out in a single layer across prepared sheet.
Roast on middle rack until nuts are toasted and browned, 15-20 minutes. (For 4 servings, wait until kale chips are finished baking before roasting nut mixture.)
Let cool at least 10 minutes, then break into smaller, bite-size pieces. TIP: Letting the mixture cool will give it time to harden and make it easier to break up!
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and remaining plain honey. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until chocolate has melted, 30-45 seconds. Carefully remove plastic wrap and whisk until smooth.
Stir in oats and a pinch of salt. Transfer to refrigerator and let chill for 5-10 minutes. TIP: Don't chill oat mixture for more than 10 minutes or it will become too hard to roll!
Place sesame seeds in a small bowl and reserve for next step.
Once oat mixture is cool enough to handle, roll into 10-12 1-inch balls (20-24 balls for 4 servings). (TIP: Coat your hands with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking!) Working one at a time, press tops of oat balls into sesame seeds.
Once kale has baked 15-20 minutes, remove from oven. Carefully grate Parmesan cheese over kale. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, 3-5 minutes more.
To Serve: Transfer kale chips and nut clusters to separate serving bowls. Transfer oat balls to a serving plate. Serve family style and let everyone snack as desired.
To Stash: Let kale chips and nut clusters cool completely. Transfer kale chips, nut clusters, and oat balls to separate airtight containers. Enjoy kale chips and nut clusters for up to 4 days; refrigerate oat balls for up to 5 days.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the nut clusters and oat balls, though some found the chocolate too bitter or sweet.
- Ease of prep: Kale chips were challenging due to pre-chopped kale; nut clusters sometimes burned or didn't stick together well.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing cooking time for nuts to avoid burning. Add more peanut butter to oat balls for better cohesion.
- Portions: Some wished for more nuts in the clusters and found the oat ball portions small.
- Kale chips: Using whole kale leaves instead of pre-chopped would make better chips that are easier to prepare.
Reviews from our home cooks
I liked the nut clusters a lot. That recipe was perfect. I enjoyed the kale crunch, however, it was not as shown in the photos. The kale came shredded and not full leafed so that when we made the clusters it was more like furikake than it was small leaves we could crunch on. Alone, the kale crunch was strange, as if we were eating toppings on rice. For the chocolate oat balls, it was tasty too, but WAY too sweet. I think there was too much chocolate, even for a chocolate lover like myself. I feel like there could be something added to the peanut butter and chocolate chips that would make it more than just that. The oats were a nice touch, but it needed something like that, just more.
This was fun. It all tastes very good. I wish the kale was whole so it would be easier to wash, dry, and separate. All those tiny pieces of kale are kind of a pain.
Fun change from a regular meal. The kale pieces were very small but overall the taste was good
Amazing. Could maybe do with a bit more honey or peanut butter to keep the chocolate balls together.
I would love more options like this! (The chopped kale was chopped a little too small though.)
Really fun kit, especially perfect for back to school time. My only complaint is that the two bags of kale are already in such fine pieces you end up making kale crumbles instead of kale chips. I'd much rather get a bunch of kale that I can chop up into the size I need.
To be honest I didn't like the chocolate quality and the nut clusters did not stick well. I also added nutritional yeast to the kale chips to give it a healthy cheesy flavour. But it was fun making these three recipes
The nut mix was the best, then the chocolate balls. The Kale wasn't very good.
Kale chips were soft and mushy. Unable to eat the next day.
Only downside was the smell of the kale chips, stunk up my refrigerator and lunch bag
