Raw Choco-Orange Bites

choco-orange bites

One of my favourite treats are the Nakd bars, they’re so scrummy especially as they’re made from just fruit and nuts, looking at the packet last time I had one, I realised they’d be pretty straightforward to recreate at home. Because the fruit gives these a high sugar content, I made them into smaller balls rather than a bar, one of these with my tea in the afternoon is a yummy treat without giving too much sugar!

I keep mine in the fridge {if they’re on the side they’ll last five mintues!} I’m planning on making another batch this week and changing the orange for some peppermint. Let me know if you try these!

    Oh these look so good! I love the nakd choc orange bars but they get pricy if you snaffle them up to often!

    I’m not a fan of dates or almonds so I don’t think they’re for me but the kids and the hubby would love them so I’m pinning!
