Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites are made without baking. Blend soft, pitted dates with cocoa, finely ground hazelnuts and a little espresso until the mixture holds together, roll it into balls, then chill until firm.
Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites keep for about a week in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Use clean hands when making them, and discard any that develop an unusual smell or appearance.
Yes, Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites freeze well. Freeze them separately on a tray first so they do not stick together, then transfer them to a sealed container; thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
Yes, Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites contain caffeine from the espresso, with a small additional amount potentially coming from cocoa. The amount in each bite varies with the espresso used and how many bites the recipe makes.
You can replace the espresso in Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites with a little strong brewed coffee or instant coffee dissolved in water. Add it gradually, since too much liquid makes the mixture sticky and difficult to roll.
Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites usually fall apart when the dates are too dry or the mixture has not been blended enough. Soften firm dates briefly in warm water, drain them well, and blend until the mixture clumps together.
Soft, pitted dates work best for Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites because they blend easily and bind the ingredients. If your dates are firm, soak them briefly in warm water and drain thoroughly before blending.
Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites contain espresso, so they are not a caffeine-free snack for children. To make a child-friendly version, leave out the espresso; also avoid large nut pieces for young children because of choking risk.
Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites can be coated in cocoa powder, finely ground hazelnuts or shredded coconut. Roll the bites in the coating after shaping and press gently so it adheres.
Serve Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites chilled as a small sweet snack alongside coffee or tea. Their espresso flavor pairs especially well with an after-dinner coffee, while a version without espresso works for people avoiding caffeine.

Date, Cocoa, Hazelnut and Espresso Bites are no-bake morsels made by combining dates with cocoa, hazelnuts and espresso, then shaping the mixture into small balls. They are a contemporary snack rather than a dish tied to one particular regional tradition, and are easy to make at home or pack for later.
Dates give the bites a soft, chewy texture and natural sweetness, while hazelnuts add crunch and cocoa and espresso bring a deep, roasted flavor. Serve them with coffee or tea, as a small dessert after a meal, or as a portable snack. They are notably high in fibre; one medium piece is about 25 g. If you prefer a less sweet-tasting balance, pair one with plain yogurt or an unsweetened drink.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
