You’ll love this fun holiday spin on healthy no bake energy bites! My No Bake Peppermint Fudge Energy Bites recipe tastes amazing and is the perfect healthy holiday treat.
Hi guys,
Every year I struggle with finding the right balance of sharing fun holiday treats, but also keeping them mostly healthy. I know we all fight the battle of having ten million un-healthy options around us everyday, but it is especially hard this time of year. The cookie trays, hot chocolate and chocolate is everywhere. And while there is a time and place for all of those it’s also nice to have some healthy options up your sleeve.
The perfect healthy holiday treat - No Bake Peppermint Fudge BitesClick To TweetMy Peppermint Fudge No Bake Energy Bite recipe is a NOT so guilty indulgence you can actually feel good about.
The batter of the bite is made of almonds and dates. It’s an unlikely but yummy combination that brings a big nutritional boost to these festive finds. The dates are naturally sweet so you don’t need any added sugar. The almonds are filling and have protein.
My Peppermint Fudge No Bake Energy Bite recipe is filled out and held together by coconut oil. It’s flavored with chocolate, vanilla and just a touch of peppermint.
The candy crumbles are more of a garnish than anything, but they sure are fun. I’ll warn you though, adding them makes a mess. I was covered in them when I was taking these pictures!
It was worth it though for these tasty bites.
I’m not against eating full fat and fabulous desserts a few times around the holidays, but these will hold you over in between helpings of the real deal.
I’ve got to tell you though, all this peppermint is making me want to turn on Elf and watch it on repeat all weekend? Who’s in?

Thanks Ilka! They are really good!
You had me at “peppermint fudge.” Thanks for linking up and adding a pound to my waistline! Haha 😉
Haha! Anytime 😉
I’ve been meaning to try making energy bites for the longest time! These look fabulous!
i have all of the ingredients listed here so will definitely be making this soon!
These are so pretty! My kids would go ga-ga over these. And of course, I would too!
You had me at chocolate peppermint! yum thanks for linking up today for Meatless monday
These look amazing! They are just calling my name! I love peppermint anything.
Almonds and dates….sounds like a perfect combo to me!! Add all the rest? I’m drooooling.
I JUST got a bag of dates. So many recipes call for them, but I’ve never tried them before. I know, how dare I. I actually just got done watching Elf 🙂 It’s such a good movie! These look delicious. Can you send some my way 😉

I’m not really a fan of dates but I may give them a shot for these…I love peppermint!
Yummy…..Im going to have to make these and let you know how they turn out.
Mmmmm! Chocolate and peppermint is my favorite festive combo! I’m leery of splenda, but I’ll admit to enjoying more than a couple of Starbucks’ new Skinny Peppermint Mocha already this year… so good! I’m super excited about your party dress post tomorrow–this year our calendar is FULL of parties…bring it on!
OMG Julie. These are AH-MAZ-ING! I want like 10 of them! Pinning!
You knocked it out of the park with this recipe today! I love a good peppermint/chocolate combo this time of year : )
Chocolate and peppermint is one of my favorite combos ever! I am adding these to our Christmas treat list for sure!
I try to healthify some of our Christmas treats, but others I leave alone. Tradition and all, you know!
These are so pretty! They almost look like Christmas decorations..too pretty to eat 🙂 To be honest, I eat whatever I want for the holidays! If I feel like trying a slice of every pie available I’m all for it 🙂
I’m with you–I do both. Because otherwise, what is the point! And peppermint is such a great mood lifter. If only everyone in the world had peppermint…
Your blog today certainly makes the move toward Christmas !
It will be here before you know it.
