This post is very special to me, for the fact that my elder daughter made these healthy treats all by herself without any help from me. Right from selecting the dry fruits to decorating the treats she enjoyed making these little hearts on the occasion of Valentine’s day. I know its a late post, but as they say, its BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!! Right?!
I just clicked her work into these lovely photographs with her pretty hands decorating the little treats. This being a No-Cook-No-Bake recipe she was very much confident about, hence came forward by herself to give a try.
Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Plant Based, Instant, No Cook, Energy Bites with Dates’:
The ingredients I mentioned below, are what we used. But, you can use any dry fruits and any nuts to go into this super easy sweet treat.
Vegan & Whole Foods Plant Based Option: Just eliminate the honey, replace it with maple syrup. I tried both ways which turned excellent either way.
You can grind/process the ingredients coarsely or even smoothly. As per your desired consistency.
How to make ‘Chocolate Coated Energy Bombs / Fudge Bites’:
Take plain sweetened chocolate bars (4 to 5), into a glass bowl which is microwave safe.
Put the bowl in microwave for 30 sec to 1 min (or) until all the chocolate melts down.
Using a large spoon gently dip these energy bits / balls into the melted chocolate.
Place them on to plate. Set them to dry for atleast 30 mins. Serve. Done!
