Description

Crunchy Chocolate Bites (No Bake) are a quick, delicious, and satisfying treat combining the rich flavor of dark chocolate with a perfect crunchy texture from oats, nuts, and seeds. These no-bake bites require minimal preparation, making them an ideal snack or dessert for busy days. Easily customizable to accommodate different dietary preferences, they offer a wholesome yet indulgent chocolate fix without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flax seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and chop any larger nuts finely to ensure an even crunch throughout the bites.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to gently melt your dark chocolate, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Mix rolled oats, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, and seeds in a large bowl, keeping the textures well-distributed.
  4. Add Sweetener and Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate and honey or maple syrup into the oat mixture, folding gently until everything is well coated and sticky enough to hold together.
  5. Shape the Bites: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions and form bite-sized balls or clusters on a lined tray.
  6. Chill and Set: Place your chocolate bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, letting them firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Even Melting: Melt chocolate slowly and avoid high heat to prevent grainy texture.
  • Mix Thoroughly: Ensure dry ingredients are evenly coated to keep every bite consistent.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh nuts and oats boost flavor and crunchiness.
  • Customize Size: Make bites bite-sized for easy snacking or larger clusters for dessert bowls.
  • Store Properly: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
