🍪 Cashew Bites Recipe – A Sweet and Simple No-Bake Treat!

Hi friends! If you’re looking for a quick, healthy, and super yummy snack, you’ve got to try these Cashew Bites! They’re sweet, chewy, and filled with rich dark chocolate. The best part? You only need 4 ingredients to make them, and there’s no baking needed. I love making these when I want something sweet but still wholesome. Let’s get started!

Method

Blend the Ingredients

Start by placing the cashew nuts, pitted Medjool dates, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt into a food processor or blender. Blend the mixture for a few minutes until everything is chopped and blended well. You’ll know it’s ready when the dough sticks together easily and holds its shape when pressed between your fingers. If it’s too crumbly, try adding one more date to help bind it all together.

Shape the Bites

Once your dough is ready, scoop out small amounts and roll them into balls about the size of a cookie bite. You should be able to make 18 equal bites from the mixture. After shaping the balls, gently press your thumb into the center of each one. This will make a small dip in the middle that’s just right for holding the melted chocolate later.

First Freeze

Line a tray or flat plate with baking paper, and place all the cookie bites on top. Once they’re spaced out evenly, put the tray into the freezer for about 20–30 minutes. This will help the bites firm up and hold their shape so they don’t fall apart when you add the warm chocolate.

Add the Chocolate

While the bites are chilling, melt your dark chocolate in a small bowl. You can do this by placing the bowl over warm water or microwaving it in short bursts (about 15–20 seconds at a time). Make sure the chocolate is smooth and slightly cooled not too hot. After the bites have firmed up, take them out of the freezer and spoon the melted chocolate into the thumbprint dip of each bite.

Final Freeze

Now that the chocolate is added, place the tray back into the freezer for another 5–10 minutes. This quick chill will help the chocolate harden and set nicely on top of the bites.

Enjoy Your Cashew Bites!

Once the chocolate is firm, your cashew bites are ready to eat! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to keep them fresh. They taste great cold and have the perfect chewy-crunchy combo with a little chocolate surprise in every bite.
