CHOCOLATE COCONUT GRANOLA BITES
These four-ingredient bites are so awesome. They're a little crunchy after the chocolate has hardened a bit. The making of them can get a little messy, but it only means you get to lick the chocolate from your fingers constantly and nobody is there to stop you.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a small saucepan with about an inch of simmering water and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and add the granola and flax seeds and stir to combine. Stick the bowl in the freezer to cool and harden the mixture a little bit, about 6 minutes. This makes it easier to roll the mixture into little balls.
- Arrange the coconut on a large baking sheet. Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, scoop out a small amount of the chocolate-granola mixture and roll it around in the coconut, making little balls. Little bites. Little ball bites. Repeat with the remaining chocolate-granola mixture and coconut.
- Place the tray back in the freezer to harden, at least 5 minutes. Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat, parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the chocolate in a heat-safe glass bowl and set over a pot filled with an inch of water. Place the pot over medium-low heat and gently cook the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until melted. Add the sea salt.
- Mix the granola, graham cereal and toffee bits in a shallow dish.
- Using two forks, dip the marshmallow rounds in the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Roll in the granola mixture, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate on the baking sheet until the chocolate is set, 10 to 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
GRANOLA BITES
A quick easy breakfast or snack that the kids love! Packed with protein and full of antioxidant-rich dried fruit and healthy nuts and seeds, these bites will be sure to please. I didn't follow the directions, of course, but ground up all the almonds and oats. It still came out great! I also ran out of rolled oats, so added oat bran. I think next time I'll also grind the sunflower seeds. Use any combination of dried fruits - any will be great! I also did not roll the balls in the almond/oat mixture, but just included it in the ball mix.

GRANOLA BITES
These chewy-crunchy, salty-sweet breakfast balls are great for eating on the go because they don't crumble and leave a mess. They take minutes to blend and a few more to roll, but if you make them a friends-and-family cooking project, the process can go even faster. Feel free to experiment here. You can swap out the almonds for cashews, the cherries for other dried fruits, and the sunflower seeds for shelled pumpkin seeds. Just keep the dates and make sure they're Medjool, which are softer and more thin-skinned than other varieties. The dates are the glue that hold the other ingredients together.

Steps:
- Line a work surface or baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Pulse dates, almonds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a food processor until the mixture forms big sticky clumps. You want chunks of nuts left. Pulse in cherries, oats and sunflower seeds, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture forms a shaggy mass around the blade.
- Put the coconut in a shallow dish. Use a 1-ounce (1 1/2-tablespoon) cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to scoop the mixture into about 24 mounds and place on the parchment paper. Roll the scoops into balls.
- Roll each ball in the coconut to coat completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Sprinkle any leftover coconut over the balls. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola bites a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or steel-cut oats.
- Don't overcook the oats. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the granola bites will be too soft. Cook the oats just until they are tender.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. This is a great way to customize your granola bites and make them your own. You can add nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, or anything else you like.
- Be patient. Granola bites need to cool completely before they are ready to eat. If you try to eat them too soon, they will be too soft and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Granola bites are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create granola bites that are both delicious and nutritious.
