Nut Free Sweet Salty Coco Cacao Bites

Recipe

This is a great 5 ingredient snack. It is refined sugar-free and sweetened only with Medjool dates. The cacao nibs add a nice chocolatey crunch which isn’t bitter at all with the sweetness of the dates and the hint of salt just brings out all the flavours. The best part is it takes less than 10 mins to make a couple of weeks worth of lunch box treats.
