This is a great snack.

It’s chewy, crunchy, and buttery with a pleasantly mild sweetness, as well as being naturally gluten and dairy-free.

You can play around with this recipe a bit, but make it “as is” first. The almond butter can be swapped and/or combined with other nut butters, like peanut, Coconut Cream Concentrate, or coconut peanut butter. But my favorite is almond. It’s so creamy and buttery!

Other mix ins are great as well: chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, more coconut, less brown rice cereal, a little coconut oil— have fun with it! This recipe isn’t super fussy.

But the best thing is that you could be stuffing your face with these tasty, little bites in under 10 minutes.

Make them now.

Enjoy!
