I make 7 of the 8 types of date energy bites for my grandson and granddaughter. They love them very much, they have a ball after school or after dinner. My daughter and son in law also love them. The peanut butter and the coconut bites are popular. I personally like the cherry bites. I like the simplicity and ease of making them. The little ones have an energy boost when they are hungry and they are much happier when they have a bite. Altogether, I made 15 balls of each of the 7 bites ( except the lemon ones) I don’t think they have any left over for freezing ! πŸ˜„ Thank you so much for introducing the amazing bites πŸ™

Most any dried fruit works great, apricots would be a great choice.

Is there anything that can be used instead of the dates?
Just looking for variations.

Love these! The PB are my favorite. I eat them straight from the freezer!

You can add more water! It doesn’t hurt it at all, so much depends on how dry your dates are. Another trick is to soak your dates in hot water for 5-10 minutes and then drain well, that will rehydrate them some too and help them stick together!

I made the almond joy balls.
They ended up being just a tad too dry to ball up. I put in a baking dish to freeze and, fingers crossed, cut into bars.
Any help is welcomed!
I did add a couple teaspoons of water, but did not want to ball up.
What I had was delicious πŸ˜‹

Made PB&j, lemon, and dark chocolate cherry for a shower. Recipe was easy to follow. Our favorite so far is the lemon.

I think it would totally work, but you are right, the end product might be quite a bit different. Since the ground almonds are more like a powder you might need to add more honey/nut butter to help them stick together. Let us know if you try it!
