Tips To Make The Best Coconut Date Bites:

  • Use a food processor. This will help you to grind the mixture fine, so you can form smoother and even-sized balls.
  • Use fresh quality ingredients for the best texture.
  • Process the nuts first and afterward add the coconut, dates and other ingredients.
  • Use a cookie scoop to form even-sized balls.
  • Refrigerate the coconut date bites for at least an hour to allow them to settle and firm up.

    Is there a reason cashews need to be used or could you use any kind of nut?

    1. Neli | Delicious Meets Healthy says:

      Hi Dana, you can substitute cashews with almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts. If you are making this recipe for Thanksgiving, wanted to point out that it makes only 12 bites. Of course, you can double it if you need more.
