Recipe

  1. Put all ingredients in the food processor and pulse to a fine grain.  It will start to become dough-like. Add more agave if the mixture is loose.
  2. Take about a tablespoon of the mixture in the palm of your hand and squeeze it so it holds together, then form it into a round ball.
  3. Place it on wax paper to display or on a nice platter.  Enjoy!

Vegan. Healthy. Chocolate. Cravings. Try my No-Bake Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites!

These are sooo delicious and a healthier way to snack!  They look/taste just like cookie dough!  I experimented with a bunch of ways to do raw cookie dough bites and I think this is my fave variation.
