Equipment
Method
- In a food processor, pulse the Medjool dates and raw almonds together until a sticky, crumbly mixture forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey (if using) to the mixture. Blend until everything is well combined and has a dough-like consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and mix in a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- With damp hands, take small portions of the mixture (about 15-20 g) and roll them into bite-sized balls, then flatten slightly to form bites.
- Roll each candy bite in the unsweetened shredded coconut, pressing lightly to make sure it adheres well.
- Place the coated bites on the prepared baking tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy chilled!

Notes
These Zesty Lemon Date Candy Bites are incredibly versatile! Feel free to swap in other nuts, such as walnuts or cashews, depending on what you have on hand.
For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
If you want to pack in more nutrients, consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds to the mixture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for later enjoyment.
