by Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 8, 2016August 7, 2019
August 8, 2016August 7, 2019

I have been watching the food I have been snacking on, I am making sure I have something reasonably healthy in my fridge to satisfy my 4pm sweet craving. I am so excited to share with you this Raw Chocolate & Coffee Bite recipe below, ooh wow, it is so delicious with a good hint of coffee, one small bite is all I need to get me through to dinner time.

You can make these bites into balls, but when I origianlly made these I was in a hurry and just pressed the mixture into a loaf pan, left in fridge for 30 minutes and sliced up into bite sized pieces within seconds. But if you have time you could roll into balls too!

I made the slice in my Thermomix:

More great healthy snack recipes:

HEALTHY COCONUT LEMON BALLS – Sometimes it’s hard to find something different to add to the kids lunch boxes, they have their usual sandwich, a piece of fruit, vegetables sticks and some baking, but there are days where they want something a little more and I am loving the ‘balls’ that I have been making lately. Not only are they great to have on hand as a quick snack, they have been a great filler to the kids lunchbox too.

{THE-ORGANISED-HOUSEWIFE}-Healthy-Coconut-Lemon-Balls

APRICOT BALLS – Over the years I have purchased the yummy little fruit bites from the healthy food section at the supermarket to include in the kids lunchboxes.  But looking more closely I’ve realised they are filled with so much sugar, coated in sugar in fact.  We are on a mission to eat healthier and this is certainly one product I could make myself, being a healthier option for the kids and their lunchboxes.

BANANA CHOCOLATE ENERGY BALLS – These Banana Chocolate Energy Balls are a great way to use up some over ripe bananas and it’s a wonderfully healthy after school snack for the kids.

Made the choc coffee bites this afternoon…great healthy snack Katrina.
Am thinking the mixture could also work great made into balls (might have to chill mixture in fridge first) and rolled in coconut.
Thanks for sharing 🙂

If I left out the coffe, would I need to make my other changes to the recipe, do you think?

Reply

No Bettina, they would taste just as good!

would you replace the walnuts with more almonds to make it nut free?

Both r nuts walnuts and almonds

What a great idea, Kelly!

Reply
Kelly July 28, 2014 - 8:32 AM

So i made it but its a crumbly mess, i can still save it. Just wondering. i left the coffee out as i’m making it for the kids, 1tbs of instant coffee was that liquid or powder?

Reply
Katrina July 28, 2014 - 10:54 AM

Oh no Kelly, I used coffee powder and really pressed it well into the container and left it in the fridge, sometimes I have left it all day before I slice it, perhaps you may need to leave it longer??

Reply
Kelly Holliday July 28, 2014 - 1:26 PM

will do, i’ve packed it harder and i’ll leave it 24hrs.

Reply
Katrina July 28, 2014 - 3:27 PM

Let me know how it turns out 🙂

kelly July 29, 2014 - 12:28 PM

i must have done something wrong because its still way crumbly, or perhaps the walnuts were needed? i only used almonds (added extra to make up for no walnuts). Maybe i needed more dates. I think i’ll try again another day. But now i have quite a tasty crumble, i think i’ll make some banana ice cream and use it as a topping. 🙂 thanks

Kim Fairfull July 28, 2014 - 11:39 PM

Could you leave the dates out

Reply
Katrina July 29, 2014 - 8:26 AM

No Kim the dates are a really important element of the bites, helps to combine it all together.

Oh yum! These look delicious! Raw food is something that really interests me. I’m not brave enough to try to make any thing too complicated, but these seem easy enough! And to be truthful – you had me at “coffee” ! I think i’ll make these this week! Thanks for the recipe!

Kat, I made these last week and wasnt that thrilled with the taste of the walnuts – remembered I dont really like the flavour AFTER I made them! I just made them last night again with roasted hazelnuts instead and they are delicious! I tried making into balls and they were a bit dry so I added a small amount of condensed milk. I think next time I could try just some water to see if that is enough to ‘glue’ together. Also loved the apricot and the lemon balls. Thanks!

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife February 12, 2015 - 9:14 AM

That’s great, Carol. Yes i guess you can add any flavour nut, hazelnuts do sound very nice too.

Suzanne May 30, 2015 - 4:10 PM

Made these finally today after reading the recipe lots of times when looking for ideas…so easy!! Thank you. Just waiting for my taste-tester (aka hubby) to give his opinion.
I had lots of crumbs when I cut it but pressed/rolled the crumbs together into balls. Might try it as balls next time.

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife June 1, 2015 - 8:48 AM

Hi Suzanne, Rolling them into balls is another great idea! I agree with you they are oh so yummy!, hope hubby enjoys them too.:)

How long will this keep in the fridge or can you freeze it?

Kasia October 10, 2015 - 10:34 AM

This looks yummie but I’m having trouble finding Medjool dates. Are they fresh or dried? Can I use regular dried dates instead?

Reply
Kay October 13, 2015 - 7:32 AM

The dates are in the fresh food section. Also if too dry add a little virgin coconut oil. I make many versions of this but to date never tried coffee.

Reply
Judy March 30, 2018 - 6:47 AM

I always use ordinary dates, just soak in boiling water for 20 seconds and then place in a sieve to drain excess fluid. I work on the theory two normal dates equals one Medjool date.

Reply
Susie August 8, 2016 - 12:18 PM

Hi, could i use anything else in this apart from nuts?

Reply
Elise August 8, 2016 - 7:51 PM

Hi, my hubby is allergic to walnuts but other nuts are fine… Can you suggest an alternative for the recipe?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 8, 2016 - 8:17 PM

Elise, I haven’t tried it, but you could try almonds or cashews, I use them frequently in bliss balls so I imagine they will bind with the date just like the walnuts.

Vicki @ Boiled Eggs & Soldiers August 9, 2016 - 12:13 AM

Thank you for reminding me about these – I loved them when I made them before – must make them again it’s a great recipe.

yes Vicki, you made them for your book club if I remember right? They are so good!

Could also had coconut oil to help bind

Hello Katrina, I can use everything except the medjool dates, what could I replace these with. Following a Keto lifestyle.

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
