Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing the pecans, pitted dates, coconut sugar, sea salt, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon into a food processor. Pulse until a sticky dough forms, typically around 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once your dough is ready, take small portions and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Flatten each ball slightly and place them on a lined cookie sheet.
  3. Pop the shaped bites into the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the dough.
  4. While the bites chill, melt the vegan chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals until smooth. Stir in coconut oil for a thinner consistency if desired.
  5. Carefully dip each chilled bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the lined cookie sheet and top each one with a whole pecan.
  6. Return the cookie sheet to the freezer to let the chocolate set and harden, which should take about 10 minutes.
  7. Once hardened, your No-bake Pecan Pie Bites are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator.
