Whether you need an afternoon pick-me-up or a bite-sized dessert, these dark chocolate cherry no-bake bites are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Whether you need an afternoon pick-me-up or a bite-sized dessert, these dark chocolate cherry no-bake bites are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

A few weeks ago I made a purchase at the grocery store that worried me. Not because this purchase wouldn’t taste good, but because I knew it would taste TOO good. And just like the feeling I get when I open a bag of BBQ potato chips, I wasn’t sure I would be able to stick to the recommended portion size. Want to know the culprit? Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter— from Peanut Butter & Co. Need I say more?

Whether you need an afternoon pick-me-up or a bite-sized dessert, these dark chocolate cherry no-bake bites are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

When dreaming up recipes to use this dark chocolate peanut butter goodness in I knew I needed to create something that would help with the portion control dilemma and include some pretty good-for-you ingredients like dried fruit and oats. So that’s how I came up with these dark chocolate cherry no-bake bites. The recipe name is a mouthful- and the bites will fill your mouth with SO much flavor! I’ve made these a few times this summer, freezing a batch, sharing some at the park with mom friends, and enjoying one or two with a glass of red wine after a busy day with the kids.

Bites, balls, bars, whatever you want to call them, are the ideal portion for toddlers. Joey clearly can’t get enough either.

Dark chocolate cherry no bake bites are also serve as a great grab n’ go snack, after-dinner treat, or post-workout fuel for adults. While my bites are pretty basic [I’ve gotta please the kiddos], I’d encourage you to check out two blogs that inspire me with bite recipes: Danielle at Food Confidence gives her formula for No-Bake Energy Balls and Lindsay at Cotter Crunch has a whole section on her website dedicated to Healthy Bites Recipes.
