These delicious chocolate bites are filled with healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. The ingredients are clean and simple, and the recipe doesn’t require a blender to make it.

The inside is simply cashew butter, oats, cocoa powder, honey, cinnamon, and freeze-dried raspberries all mixed together well and rolled into balls. Then, it’s dipped in melted dark chocolate chips.

The raspberries add a touch of tartness, which balances well with the chocolate, cashew, and honey. My husband is already begging me to make these for him again! When you’re looking for freeze-dried raspberries, make sure it’s the crispy freeze-dried kind, not the gummy regular dried kind.

Ingredients (makes about 24 balls, give or take):

• 1 cup cashew butter (or almond butter)
• 1 cup oats
• 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed up in a baggie with the back of a big spoon
• 1/4 honey
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 bag dark chocolate chips, to melt and dip balls into

Method:

1. Mix the cashew butter (or almond butter), oats, crushed freeze-dried raspberries, honey, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until well combined.
2. Roll into 1 inch balls in the palm of your clean hands, and place balls on a plate.
3. Refrigerate balls for at least 30 minutes to firm.
4. Once balls are firm, melt dark chocolate in a bowl in microwave (20 second intervals, mixing until smooth and melted).
5. Dip balls into bowl of chocolate, using help of a dark to roll and get them out. Place back on plate. Do this for all the balls, then place back in fridge to firm the outer chocolate shell.
6. Once firm, enjoy! I prefer these stored in the fridge, but they do fine in a room-temp environment too. Eat within a week.
