These Black Cocoa Bliss Bites are rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey, the kind of treat that feels indulgent but still fits into everyday life. They’re made with simple, whole-food ingredients and come together in minutes, no baking required. Think brownie-like flavour with a little crunch, a hint of coconut, and just enough sweetness to hit the spot when a craving strikes.
They’re perfect for those moments when you want something sweet after dinner, a quick snack with your afternoon coffee, or a grab-and-go option to keep in the fridge during busy weeks (or the holidays). If you love dark chocolate and desserts that don’t leave you feeling overly full or sluggish, these are for you.
Bonus: they store well, freeze beautifully, and taste even better straight from the fridge.
Nutritional Benefits
These bliss bites aren’t just delicious, they’re thoughtfully balanced to keep you satisfied:
Naturally sweetened
Made with dates, these bites get their sweetness from whole fruit rather than refined sugar, which means you also get fibre and micronutrients along with that chocolatey flavour.
Healthy fats for satiety
Nuts, nut butter, coconut, and a touch of coconut oil provide nourishing fats that help keep you full and satisfied, making these bites more than just a quick sugar hit.
Rich in antioxidants
Black cocoa and cacao nibs are packed with antioxidants and polyphenols, which support heart health and help combat oxidative stress — plus they give that deep, intense chocolate taste.
Plant-based and gluten-free
These bites are naturally vegan and gluten-free, making them easy to share with friends and family who have different dietary needs.
Perfect portion-controlled treat
Rolled into small bites, they’re easy to portion and great for mindful snacking, especially helpful during the holiday season when sweet treats are everywhere.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place cashews and dates in a food processor and blend until combined. Then add remainder of ingredients minus chocolate chips, chocolate nibs and white chocolate, and pulse until mixture starts to clump together.
-
Transfer to a bowl and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Add chocolate chips and chocolate nibs and mix with spatula or by hand until the dough is formed. Use your hands to form small 1 inch round balls, rolling in your palm. Be sure to press the dough firmly when making the balls to ensure it doesn't crumble.
-
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 10-15 seconds spurts, mixing in between until fully melted, careful not to burn the chocolate. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a 2 weeks. ENJOY!
