To stay on your toes, you’ll need some rewarding snacks like these mocha fudge energy bytes. They are sweet but not too sweet, sweet but healthy and have a slight impact of caffeine to help kick start your motivation. Plus, it tastes much fresher than any snack you buy in the store, and you can grab one, two, or three, depending on the fuel you need.
Mocha Fudge Energy Bite is easy, delicious and better than a bar
I used to think that date-based truffles were out of reach for many. All the recipes I’ve seen require a food processor or a powerful blender. But then I started wondering, what did people do before these modern conveniences came? Date paste is not exactly a modern invention. After all, all you need is hot water and a fork! When softened, dates can be crushed almost as easily as bananas.
I used that low-tech method to chew the energy of these mocha fudges. But I used a cheap spice grinder to grind cashew nuts. If you don’t have one, you can substitute 1 ounce of almond meal or 2 tablespoons of cashew butter (the mixture may be a little sticky).
The recipe below is a very simple no-bake recipe, so you can easily adjust it to your liking. You can increase or decrease coffee for a slightly more intense mocha hit, add sweeteners as needed, or use dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate for the few lucky chocolates without sweet teeth. ..

Vegan Mocha Fudge Energy Byte
author: Alisa Fleming
Recipe type: snack
cooking: American
- 40 grams of dates (about two large dates)
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips without dairy products
- 1 ounce of raw cashew nuts (only ¼ cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee
- 5 drops of vanilla stevia
- Finely chopped coconut, peanuts, or raw sugar for coating.
- Place the date in a small bowl and cover with boiling water to soften it.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-compatible bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute and melt vigorously in a whisk. If it is not completely melted, heat it for another 15 seconds and whisk vigorously with a whisk. Do not overheat the chocolate. It will burn if overheated.
- Place cashew nuts in a spice grinder and grind into powder.
- Drain the date and crush it like a banana.
- Add cashew powder, mashed potatoes, coffee and stevia-melted chocolate, and stir until everything is well mixed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll and coat the balls with coconut, peanuts, or raw sugar.
- Cool the bite in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Store these energy bites in a refrigerator or freezer Zip Top Sandwich to keep them firm and secure. I like to eat directly from the freezer.
Square option: Lightly tap the mixture on a small oiled dish and freeze for 10 minutes. Cut into squares and optionally coat each bite with coconut. I pushed pistachios into each bite to give a sense of the season.
