Healthy snacks can be hard to find, but these raw cocoa bites will solve your snacking needs! Thanks to the Wild Orange Essential Oil, these bites burst with flavour while curbing cravings. Enjoy these with a warm tea or on the go!
The secret to their sweetness is the medjool dates. Although you can use regular dates, the medjool dates are rich in nutrients while providing a robust sweetness. On the other hand, the secret to the flavour is using Certified Pure Tested Grade essential oil. Most essential oils are unregulated and impure, so they are not safe for human consumption. dōTERRA’s Wild Orange oil is the one I use because it is tested to be safe for internal use, and the flavour is incredible.
I recommend doubling the batch and leaving them in double-sealed freezer bags. Although it doesn’t take long to make these healthy snacks, there’s really no reason to not just make extra once you decide you like them. When you’re in a snacking mood and discover there’s more of these tasty treats in the freezer, you’ll thank me!
