Fruit & Nut Snack Bites

My incredibly precise and super secret recipe: whatever dried fruit and nuts you like and/or already have in your pantry, plus some coconut oil. I try to do equal parts of dried fruit to dry ingredients (nuts, seeds, etc.) and slowly add the coconut oil to bind. I love that they come out a little different each time. These here are made with: 

Use a food processor to coarsely grind up dried fruit and then the dry nuts/seeds (do fruit or “wet” ingredients separate from dry ingredients).

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and slowly add melted coconut oil (rub solid coconut oil between your hands to melt to liquid) until the mixture is a dough-like consistency. Roll mixture into 1-2” balls, depending on preference. Store in the fridge.

These are one of my favorite snacks to keep in the house because they’re fun and easy to make, they’re delicious and satisficing, and I usually am able to make them mostly from ingredients I already have in my pantry. There’s really no rules to these other than to use what YOU like! The only recommendation I would advise to stick to would be to use as much of a 1:1 ratio of dried fruit to “dry” ingredients as possible. I have found that it just makes the consistency better and ability to bind easier; not too dry, not to gooey and messy.
