Inside: Get a recipe for Healthy Chocolate Peppermint Bites made with walnuts and dates, coated in coconut and crushed candy canes. Fudgy and sweet!

Tis the season for holiday sweets. And I love ’em all.

But it’s nice to have other goodies on hand that are delicious and festive but actually give you energy instead of zapping it away.

These Chocolate Peppermint Bites are made with just a few wholesome ingredients, then rolled in a crunchy coating of coconut and candy canes.

Ingredients You Need

Dates: Be sure to remove the pit inside first
Walnuts: They’re pulverized in the food processor, so it doesn’t matter whether you choose chopped or halves.
Cocoa Powder
Milk: Use dairy or non-dairy milk.
Peppermint Extract
Coconut: Unsweetened (such as Bob’s Red Mill) works best in this recipe, but sweetened is fine too.
Candy Canes: Crush these by placing them in a bag and using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer mallet to crush them into small pieces (not a powder).

How to Make Chocolate Peppermint Bites

Place dates, walnuts, and cocoa powder in a food processor.
