Chocolate Crackle Bites
These healthy, crunchy chocolate crackle bites are a great one handed snack, delicious straight out of the fridge or in a snack box to keep you fulled up and your sweet tooth satisfied.
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed nuts I've used walnuts and brazil nuts
- 1 cup hulled buckwheat Raw or Activated - see notes below
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Add the mixed nuts, buckwheat, protein powder, salt and cacao powder into a food processor and blitz until you have a fine crumb-like texture.
- Now add the maple syrup, peanut butter and melted coconut oil to the processor and blitz again till the mixture comes together well.
- Use a spoon to portion out the mixture and then form into balls with your hands.
- Allow to set in the fridge for an hour and then enjoy!
Notes
Remember to melt your coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds - 1 minute if it started off solid. It will harden up again in the fridge!
Note on Buckwheat: You can use both raw buckwheat and activated buckwheat in this recipe. I find that activated buckwheat is a bit crunchier and lighter (tastes more like a chocolate crackle) raw buckwheat groats are a but nuttier (taste more like chocolate spider). Both can be purchased from your local supermarket or health food store.
