Paleo Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites

Dates do double duty here, both sweetening the bites and helping bind everything together once they're pulsed with almonds in the food processor — no baking, no added sugar, just a food processor and a fridge.

Built entirely from dates, nuts, cocoa, and coconut, these bites fit easily into a paleo-friendly snack rotation and travel well for anyone who needs something portable between meals. Rolling them while the mixture is still a little sticky is easiest done with slightly damp hands. A half hour in the fridge firms them up, and they'll keep in an airtight container for about a week, which makes them worth batching ahead.
