No Bake Samoa Bites (Printable)

Chocolate-dipped coconut caramel bites inspired by classic cookies. Ready in 20 minutes with no baking required.

# What's Needed:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup pitted dates
02 - 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
03 - 1/2 cup almond flour
04 - 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Caramel Coconut Layer

06 - 1/2 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter
07 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
08 - 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted

→ Chocolate Coating

09 - 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped
10 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Combine pitted dates, shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a food processor. Blend until mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
03 - Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the base mixture and press firmly into a compact ball. Flatten slightly to create a disc shape. Repeat until all mixture is used.
04 - Whisk almond butter and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth and well combined. Fold in toasted coconut flakes.
05 - Top each base disc with a heaping teaspoon of the caramel coconut mixture. Press gently to ensure the filling adheres to the base.
06 - Combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
07 - Dip the bottom of each assembled bite into the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined sheet. Drizzle remaining chocolate over the tops using a spoon.
08 - Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes until chocolate is completely set and firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • Tastes exactly like the cookie but with wholesome ingredients you can feel good about
  • Ready in 20 minutes with zero baking required
  • Perfect for when you need something sweet but dont want to turn on the oven
02 -
  • The base mixture should stick together when you squeeze it if it is too dry add another date or teaspoon of water
  • Toasting the coconut for the caramel layer takes it from good to absolutely do not skip this step
  • These keep best in the fridge but the chocolate firms up so let them sit 5 minutes before serving
03 -
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling the bites to prevent sticking
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes that look like they came from a bakery
