These delicious Almond Joy Energy Bites are a perfect no-bake treat combining dates, coconut, almonds, and chocolate for a chewy, satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Dried Fruits and Nuts

  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.5 cup raw almonds
  • 0.25 cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2-3 tablespoons water (as needed to reach desired consistency)

Instructions 

  • Remove pits from dates and pulse in a food processor 5-7 times until broken down and starting to form a ball.
  • Add shredded coconut, almonds, almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Process for 1 minute, scraping sides as needed, until mixture is uniform and clumping.
  • Add chocolate chips and pulse 4-5 times to incorporate while leaving some chunks.
  • If mixture is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until sticky and holds together.
  • Form mixture into balls using a tablespoon or scoop, rolling firmly, and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Chilling helps the bites firm up and improves texture.
