These No Bake Chocolate Coconut Date Balls are perfect for a quick and easy snack! They’re quick and easy to throw together, keep you energized, and are great for taking on the go.

The almonds add a boost of protein, and the chocolate coconut combo is unbelievably tasty. Perfect for when you want something healthy but a little sweet, too!

These chocolate coconut date balls taste just like Almond Joy candies – but are way healthier! Seriously, they’re so good. Soft and chewy, and coated with a sprinkling of shredded coconut. Pure bliss.

You may find yourself hiding these from the rest of your family…don’t worry. That’s normal. 😉 But I definitely recommend making a double (or triple) batch so you can share!

  1. Pour coconut onto a plate and set aside.
  2. Place the rest of the ingredients (except coconut) into a food processor. Process about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
