Chocolate + Coconut.

Homemade.

No cooking involved.

aaand it gets better…

They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and delicious!

I was sold on my naturalpathic doctor within the first few minutes and then she sent me this recipe, I knew I’d be back.

These little {bite-size} chocolate and coconut bliss balls are the perfect treat which are great at taking care of all my late night chocolate cravings. I was impressed with how easy they were and then after pulling them out of the fridge, I knew I’d be in trouble. Bonus: with the healthy fats and protein, this is a healthy option compared to the pint of ice cream or the candy bar stashed in your freezer.

Are you the person who eats all the cookie dough before there’s anything left to bake? Me too. This isn’t that kind of dough. So, practice patients because these are 10x better after they’ve sat in the refrigerator.

I’m also the person who keeps the chocolate and even cookies in the freezer. I ended up dividing the batch – half went in the fridge and the other half, in the freezer. This helps limit my intake when those major cravings kick in. Alright, however you decide to eat these delicious {bite-size} treats, enjoy!

Chocolate (cacoa) and Cashew Bliss Balls

{Recipe adapted from FoodMatters}

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cashew butter
• 2 tablespoons {raw} honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 dates (pitted and soaked for at least 4 hours)
• 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 1 cup  chopped coconut for coating

Directions

Place all the ingredients except for coconut in a blender and mix until smooth. With your hands roll the 1 Tbsp mixture into small balls. Roll each ball in over the coconut flakes until lightly covered. Place the balls on a plate or in a container and refrigerate until hard. I left half in the fridge and the other half in the freezer – favorite night time snack.
