In honor of Valentine’s Day and the fact that I literally want to indulge in all.the.chocolate. I thought I’d better share a yummy chocolatey snack that I have been enjoying the past couple of weeks…No Bake Fudgy Snack Bites.
I absolutely love having little bites around in the fridge or freezer for snacks or sweet treats, and a couple of weeks ago I got a little carried away while experimenting with snack bite recipes.
Typically, when I make bites I use almond butter or cashew butter but unfortunately those nuts are high FODMAPÂ which means they may irritate my tummy. Â I needed to find an alternative to almonds and cashews, so I thought I would blend up some walnuts (which are low FODMAP approved!).
The walnut butter was absolutely delicious, super easy to make, and tasted AMAZING when mixed into these little chocolatey bites. Â Win, win, win!
I used raw cacao powder to give the bites their chocolatey flavor. Â Raw cacao powder is made by cold pressing unroasted cocoa beans. Unsweetened cocoa powder is made by roasting the raw cacao at high temperatures which unfortunately removes a lot of the nutritional value from the cacao.
Luckily, it’s pretty easy to find cacao powder at sites like iherb.com or at stores like Marshalls (<–crazy, but they actually have a pretty wide selection of health foods!)
Ok, now for this tasty recipe!
A simple, fudgy treat healthy enough to be a snack!

These look great! I’m obsessed with coconut right now so I think they’ll be right up my street 😉 Are walnuts easier to blend than other nuts? My blender took into a fit when I tried to make hazelnut butter last week, eep!
These look divine and I love the ingredients list – far better than that of my favorite Valentine’s Day treat…Reese’s PB hearts!! 🙂
I gosh I love those Reese’s PB hearts too!! 🙂
