A food processor and a microwave are all you need to put together these No-Bake Dark Chocolate Chia Bites. Oats, coconut, crunchy almonds and HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Mildly Sweet Chocolate Chips are rolled together with chia seeds in this no-bake dark chocolate chia bites recipe. We love how the dark chocolate keeps these bite-sized treats together, plus packs a ton of intriguing flavor that balances out the sweetness of figs, shredded coconut and coconut oil. For another chocolate-meets-coconut treat, whip up this beginner-friendly ALMOND JOY Candy Bar Macaroons recipe. These stunning macaroons taste just like the candy bar.
