How to Make These Ultra-Quick No-Sugar, No-Oven Chocolate Bites
1. Prepare the natural sweet base
Mash the banana until smooth OR blend the dates into a paste.
Both act as the “glue” and natural sweetener.
2. Mix the filling
In a bowl, combine:
-
Nut butter
-
Date paste or mashed banana
-
Vanilla
-
Salt
Mix until creamy and thick.
3. Add the crunch
Fold in the crushed nuts or sugar-free crunchy cereal.
This creates the textured, nutty look shown in the image and adds irresistible bite.
4. Shape the balls
Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-size balls.
Place them on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
5. Melt the chocolate
Microwave sugar-free chocolate chips in 20-second bursts, stirring between each one.
When smooth, let it cool slightly so it thickens.
6. Coat the balls
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and roll to coat fully.
Place them back on the tray.
The coating will harden as it cools, giving that glossy, crunchy finish.
7. Chill and serve
Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.
Enjoy straight from the fridge or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
