How to Make Almond Joy Energy Bites
These energy bites start with pulsing medjool dates and coconut flakes in a food processor. While the dates provide binding and sweetness, coconut provides one of the classic Almond Joy elements. Then we add almond butter and cacao powder to complete the trio of Almond Joy essentials. And a little vanilla extract and sea salt to further enhance the flavors. A few more pulses in the food processor turns the mixture into a rollable, dangerously delicious dough. All that’s (optionally) left to do is decorate the bites! Our favorite way is coating with a glaze of melted coconut butter and oil, then adding a roasted almond on top before the glaze hardens. Look at those beauties! We hope you LOVE these energy bites! They’re:NuttyChocolatyCoconuttySalty-sweetQuick & easy& SO delicious! They’re the perfect snack or healthier dessert whenever you’re craving the magical combo of chocolate, coconut, and almonds! Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to have handy whenever an Almond Joy craving strikes.
