You are going to love this 7-ingredient, no bake Chocolate Bliss Energy Bites recipe! Loaded with toasted cashews, chia seeds, cocoa or cacao powder and sweetened with dates, these bites deliver a protein punch and are full of fiber. We call them Chocolate Bliss Energy Bites for a reason – you are going to fall in love with these guys. If you choose peppermint extract, they will taste like a Thin Mint cookie. Add in the almond extract instead and you have an Almond Joy! You could even roll them in some toasted, flaked coconut as well.

A couple of quick tips: Make a double batch of the Chocolate Bliss Energy Bites…I promise they won't last long! I like storing them in the freezer and popping a couple out for a quick snack, breakfast or even dessert when the chocolate bug hits. This recipe is perfectly kid friendly and an easy one for them to help make as well. So dig out the aprons and get them cooking with you!
