Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy almond butter

1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan option)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for extra crunch)

Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Incorporate the Oats: Gradually fold in the rolled oats to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until every oat is coated. If desired, add the chopped nuts at this stage, folding them gently into the mixture for added texture.

      Add the Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the dark chocolate chips into the combined mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

        Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

          Spread the Mixture: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top, pressing down firmly to compact the mixture, which will help it hold together once frozen.

            Chill Until Firm: Place the pan in the freezer and allow the mixture to chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until it has firmed up completely.

              Cut into Squares: After freezing, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the mixture out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into squares of approximately 1.5 inches each.

                Optional Finishing Touch: If you wish, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the squares before storing them. This adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness.

                  Storage: Store the bliss bites in an airtight container or a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture.

                      - Presentation Tips: Arrange the bliss bites on a decorative platter, dust with extra cocoa powder, and add a few whole almonds around for an appealing display.
