No-Bake Chocolate Cashew Bites

-
There is nothing better than a chewy chocolate treat. Yes, there is… A NO-BAKE chewy chocolate treat!

Now in the past I’ve shown my love for bite-sized snacks and desserts, but this recipe takes the experience to another level. This recipe only takes a few natural ingredients, yet taste so incredibly delicious.   All you really need is nuts, dates, and some dark chocolate. Seriously, that’s it! The dates, however, are truly the winner in this treat.

And you don’t have to feel limited to just what I’ve put in them, another great thing about this recipe is that so many different things you can add to make these bites. The combination possibilities are practically endless. Sweet, chewy and coated in decadent dark chocolate, these make a great dessert for any occasion. So let’s get started, I’m hungry just writing about it!

  1. 1 cup pitted dates
  2. 1 cup cashews
  3. 1 tsp. honey
  4. 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  5. Pinch of salt
  6. Splash of water
  7. 4 oz. dark chocolate chips
Instructions

Every once in awhile, there comes a recipe that you make and it just blows you off your feet. Today I'm going to share with you an AIP-friendly, nut free and dairy free recipe that did just that! It's a short post, but I just got to get the word out there about how great this is. One day I was exploring for a unique and creative recipe to use some zucchini we had leftover. Where we live, we get great zucchinis all year round, so it definitely means incorporating them in a lot of different dishes. When I wasn't sure what to make, I happened to stumble across a recipe for "cheese" made out of zucchinis from a blogger I love called A Squirrel In The Kitchen . If you haven't been to her blog, please take a quick trip over to her and check out some of her recipes. Sophie is an autoimmune warrior and passionate foodie, and she makes some really delicious recipes. This one, and many others, are perfect for anyone looking for an AIP-compliant recipe to try.
