Almond Joy Energy Bites

Es gibt Torte – genauer gesagt luftig lockere Beerentorte im Schokoladenkleid. Nach meinem Carrotcake und einer Vanille-Buttercreme Torte ist dies nun die dritte etwas aufwändigere Torte die es an den Blog schafft. Und sie hat es absolut verdient. Einerseits weil sie wirklich sehr hübsch anzuschauen ist. Andererseits aber auch weil das Rezept tatsächlich gar nicht so aufwändig ist, wie die Torte aussieht – und das haben wir doch alle gerne, oder?
I truly feel this recipe needs a disclaimer. Like warning warning these energy bites are good for you but OMG you WILL eat every last bite if not careful. Okay now that I got that out of the way let’s dig into these scrumptious energy bites inspired by the classic almond joy candy bar.
Truth be told I can’t tell you the last time I ate an Almond Joy candy bar. I know it has chocolate, almonds, and coconut but I don’t remember the exact taste of one. I’m sure it’s good but I’d also be willing to bet that it’s waaaaaay too processed tasting and sweet. Just saying it’s how candy is nowadays. Yes I use the term “nowadays” because at 41 that’s just how it is.

Ingredients

• 14 Medjool dates, pitted, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes, and drained
• ½ cup almond butter
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup whole raw almonds
• ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• dash of salt
• tablespoon of water if needed

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients (except water) to a food processor. Process until all the ingredients are blended and a thick dough forms. If the dough is not sticking together or is crumbly add 1 tablespoon of water.
2. Place dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This is to help it firm up to make it easier to roll the energy balls.
3. Roll dough into 20 energy balls and refrigerator overnight.
