    Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites are perfect for snacks, lunches, or even breakfast. They are made with dates, almonds, nut butter, shredded coconut, oats, and cocoa. These energy bites are inspired by my favorite candy bar, Almond Joys, and give me the sweet fix I need.

    These sweet, no-bake treats are super tasty and take a few minutes to make. My favorite candy bar is Almond Joys, so I had to make an Almond Joy flavored energy bite.

    These are super easy to make. Add all your ingredients into a food processor and blend for 2 minutes until a dough forms. Then a poured the dough onto a plate formed square, about 1 think thick, and cut them into 16 pieces. If you don’t have a food processor, they are super handy to have. I picked up the Hamilton Beach food chopper from target and it’s been pretty handy the past few months.

    Do you have questions?

    What kind of dates did you use?

    I’ve seen a lot of recipes with Medjool dates. They are bigger and sweeter than regular dates, but they are also more expensive ( about 2 times more). I used regular dried pitted dates for this recipe. The bites still come out sweet and chewy and cost less.

    How long do energy bites last?

    Store any leftover in an air-tight container for up to a week.

    How many energy bites can I eat?

    4 bites are 240 calories with 6g of protein.
