Do you ever get a sugar craving and even though those cookies or that piece of chocolate sound perfect, you want to have something other than those things?
If so, then this recipe for no-bake walnut coconut hemp seed bites is for you! Just one (yes! just one!) will do the trick and send your sweet craving packing.
When coming up with the combination for these bites, walnuts were at the top of the list. A favourite snack of mine is a pitted date with a whole walnut stuffed inside which is why I have included some roughly chopped walnuts in addition to the ground walnuts—for the crunch and texture.
When I make these, I make them on the weekend (bonus that they're no bake, so no need to turn the oven on!), store them in a glass container in the fridge, and grab one when a sweet craving hits during the week.
So save the cookies and chocolate for a future craving and this time, calm your sweet tooth with a walnut coconut hemp seed bite!
