NO-BAKE ALMOND JOY BITES
Are you a fan of Almond Joy’s?? I’m pretty sure you are if you’re on this blog post searching for the recipe! These bites taste just like an Almond Joy candy bar, but they are a much healthier option! Filled with chocolate, coconut, and almonds, these bites come together in 10 minutes or less. Which make for the perfect to grab when you’re need a sugar fix.
In the either years that I have been married, I have yet to find something my husband won’t eat or be ok with. Until coconut came along. He will eat it without complaint, but it’s not a favorite of his, therefore these bites are not something he reaches for when he needs a snack. Score for me! I don’t have to fight anyone for these bites. But that only means I have to make him bites of his own, like his current favorite: Healthy No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bites. He gobbles 2-3 up at a time!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THESE BITES

- Freezer: Store the bites in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 1 month.
TOOLS USED IN THIS RECIPE
- Cookie Scoop – this makes portioning and rolling these bites a breeze!
- Food Processor – this brand is my favorite. I have had one for 8 years now and always recommend it if you’re in the market for one.
- Parchment Paper Sheets – no measuring or cutting needed! Simply pull and use for dividing the bites when storing.
- Glass Food Storage Container – fridge and freezer-friendly containers that I use.
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN MAKING
- Using a cookie scoop helps to portion out the bites correctly, as well as make the rolling process easier than using a spoon!
- When not eating, keep these bites in the fridge or freezer.
- If the mixture seems dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional honey or almond butter. If the mixture seems to wet, add a little extra oatmeal.
