When I first made these Chocolate Almond Coconut Granola Bites, I was skeptical about how they would turn out. I used a mix of ingredients from my pantry and was pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor they developed. The combination of almonds and coconut gives them a unique twist that I wouldn’t have thought possible!

This recipe works so well because the natural oils from the almonds help bind the ingredients together while also providing a lovely crunch. I also found that letting them chill for a bit after forming them enhances their firmness and flavor. Trust me, they won't last long!
