Tosteds Chocolate Energy Bites, Easy and Delicious!

Dried fruits have been around for millennia. There is evidence of drying fruits for preservation and cooking that can be traced as far back 12,000 BC.

Dried fruits are energy-dense foods that have high nutritional value and like Tosteds, pair well with other nuts and seeds. Dry roasted soynuts contain all the goodness of soy, half the fat and 80 percent more protein than peanuts!

These tasty treats are just sweet enough in a chewy, but firm ‘bite’. The roasty-toasty flavor of the salted Tosteds and chocolate are key and the original recipe is great, however you can replace the apricots with cranberries and the almonds with cashews or walnuts.

These easy to make Energy Bites are packed with enough deliciousness that you could almost forget they’re dessert. Just pop them out of the freezer and enjoy within minutes!
