These tasty Chocolate Coconut Crispy Bites are a brilliant afternoon snack for kids and adults too. They’re also nut free so perfect to send to school as part of a packed lunch or snack box.

Chocolate Coconut Crispy Bites

If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you’ll know I’m a big fan of Energy Bites. My kids are constantly demanding snacks and it’s great to be able to have a stash of healthy homemade treats in the fridge that don’t cost a lot of money to make.

That being said, all my Energy Bite recipes are made with nut butter and as most schools and nurseries have a nut ban then these snacks would only be suitable for at home in the afternoon, and couldn’t be packed into lunches or snack boxes.

So for this reason I’ve been working on a new recipe, similar to my Energy Bites but completely nut free. I also added Rice Krispies to the recipe to give the bites a delicious crispy crunch.

Ingredients for Chocolate Coconut Crispy Bites:

  • Oats
  • Rice Krispies
  • Coconut Oil
  • Honey
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Vanilla
ingredients for the crispy bites

STEP 1:

Blitz the oats and Rice Krispies in a food processor to break them down to a finer consistency.

STEP 2:

Melt the coconut oil in a cup and mix in the honey, cocoa powder and vanilla extract.

STEP 3:

STEP 4:

Use a tablespoon to take a spoonful of the mixture from the food processor. Press down with on the mixture in the spoon with the palm of your hand so that it becomes compact. Turn the spoon over onto a lined tray or plate and a dome shaped bite should come out.

The mixture makes 15 bites. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes then serve!

    Wow! These little bites are sooooo good! I made a batch at the weekend thinking that I could use them for the kids after school snacks but between myself, my husband and the kids, they didn’t even last until the end of the weekend! Will be making more of these and keeping them hidden so I can ration them out! 🙂

    I made a double batch of these (fingers crossed they freeze ok). The first batch was so delicious I amped up the second with hazel nuts, coconut chia seeds and
    ground linseed. Soooooo scrumptious, if my 3 year old won’t eat them I will!

    These took about 5 minutes to make and were an instant hit with my 5 kiddos! I am always looking for gluten free recipes that have normal ingredients as only one of my kids is GF. Easy, yummy, and kid-approved! That’s a win in my book!

    Yum! Can you freeze these? Also, can I use the cooking coconut oil that’s already in liquid form? Thank you!
