Hi there! I’m Ruby Elise. As a busy mom, I always look for simple, delicious snacks that my kids and I can enjoy together. These 3-Ingredient Chocolate Almond Butter Bites are one of my favorites.
Let me be honest—there have been days when I’ve tried to make quick snacks, and things get a bit chaotic. I’ve had almond butter splattered all over the counter, or found myself without enough Chocolate. But trust me, with just three ingredients, these bites are foolproof! They’re the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and satisfying without any stress.
If you’re looking for a quick snack that’s both yummy and easy, this one’s for you. Let’s dive in!
Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Chocolate Almond Butter Bites
The beauty of these bites is in their simplicity. You only need three ingredients; I bet you already have most of them in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Almond Butter: I use creamy almond butter, but you can also go for crunchy if that’s more your style. The almond Butter adds a lovely richness and a little protein boost to keep you full longer.
- Dark Chocolate: I love using dark Chocolate because it provides a slightly bitter contrast to the sweet almond Butter. You can also use milk chocolate if that’s your preference.
- Honey: Just a bit of honey for sweetness. It brings everything together perfectly without being overwhelming.
That’s it! You don’t need fancy ingredients or complicated steps—just the basics that work perfectly together.
How to Make Easy 3-Ingredient Chocolate Almond Butter Bites
Making these bites is super simple and doesn’t take long at all. Here’s the step-by-step process:
Melt the Chocolate: Start by breaking the dark Chocolate into small pieces. Melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (a double boiler works wonders), or microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Keep it smooth and melty!
Mix Almond Butter and Honey
Mix the almond Butter and honey in a separate bowl. I like to use a spoon or spatula to get it nice and smooth. It should have a thick, creamy texture.
Combine and Roll
Now, pour the melted Chocolate into the almond butter mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. Once it’s all mixed, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
Chill: Place the rolled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. You’ll be left with perfectly set, bite-sized treats ready to enjoy!
That’s it! Seriously, I’m not kidding when I say this recipe is simple. The hardest part is waiting for them to chill!
Recipe Tips for Perfect 3-Ingredient Chocolate Almond Butter Bites
I’ve made these little bites countless times, and over the years, I’ve picked up a few tips to make them even better.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: If your almond Butter is a bit thick or stiff to stir, try warming it up slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. It’ll make mixing much easier, and your bites will have a smoother texture.
- Chill Longer for Firmness: If you prefer extra firm bites, don’t be afraid to leave them in the fridge longer than 30 minutes. Sometimes, I leave them overnight, and they’re even better the next day!
- Coat with a Little Extra Chocolate: To take these bites to the next level, drizzle a little extra melted chocolate before chilling them. It adds a little more indulgence and makes them look extra fancy.
- Get Creative with Add-Ins: Feel free to mix in extras like chopped nuts, a sprinkle of sea salt, or even a dash of cinnamon to give these bites a unique twist. I’ve experimented with these, and they’ve all been delicious!
- Make a Bigger Batch: These bites are so easy to make, I often double or triple the recipe to keep them stocked in the fridge. Trust me, they don’t last long!
