No Bake German Chocolate Bites

I am super excited to share these no bake German chocolate bites with you.  Now that we are in the middle of summer, no one wants to heat up the entire kitchen with the oven on.  That is why these no bake German chocolate Bites are so great.  I just love no bake treats, don’t you?

I also made these with NO added sugar!  My husband took one bite and said they taste just like German chocolate cake!  Win!

When you think of a typical German chocolate cake recipe, it is very involved and intimidating.  Not these!  You can make them up in a matter of minutes without a mixer!  These no bake German chocolate bites are vegan, gluten free, paleo and nut free.  They are only sweetened with dates!

For the chocolate coating, I used my 3 ingredient chocolate bar recipe.  I just left out the maple syrup.  If you tend to like things a little sweeter, you can add 1 tablespoon maple syrup to the chocolate.

Here is a quick video on how to make the chocolate.
