These Chocolate-Covered Raspberry No-Bake Cookie Bites are all that and more!
And I’ve been so excited to bring you this recipe!
My friend Lindsey, who writes and edits here at Traditional Cooking School — and who keeps a lovely blog herself at Today in Dietzville — came out with her new eCookbook Nourishing No-Bake Treats. It’s gorgeous and includes 12 healthy, allergy-friendly, easy, no-bake treat recipes (#bitesofgoodness).
I looked through the book, figuring out which cookie I’d like to make first.
Of course, it was too hard to choose and I ended up making 3 kinds — Chocolate-Covered Raspberry, Salted Caramel & Dark Chocolate, and Orange & Dark Chocolate! (All of which took me less than a half hour with only a few dishes to clean up, by the way…)
Lindsey gave me permission to share one of my favorites with you… and I chose the Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Cookie Bites. They taste just like raspberries and cream!
I tell ya’ though… ask me tomorrow and I’ll say one of the others is my favorite! They’re all. that. good.
Below you’ll find the recipe for the Chocolate-Covered Raspberry cookie bites. So beautiful, right? And incredibly easy (no-bake). And delicious. And nourishing. Allergy-friendly. Just what you want in a cookie!
No-Bake Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Cookie Bites
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut plus additional for sprinkling on top
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries divided (or other fresh or frozen berry)
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup Trim Healthy Mama stevia-sweetened sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Combine coconut, coconut oil, 1/3 cup raspberries, honey, vanilla, and salt in a high-powered blender or food processor. Process on low-medium speed until the dough begins to fold in on itself.
-
Roughly chop remaining 1/3 cup raspberries and fold into the dough. (Wardee's notes: Or add the whole berries and pulse a few times until they're chopped and incorporated into the dough, but not blended smooth.)
-
Using a 1-tablespoon dough scoop, drop balls of raw dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, melt chocolate over a double boiler, whisking occasionally until smooth.
-
Remove bites from the freezer. Spoon melted chocolate over the frozen bites. Sprinkle with additional shredded coconut, if desired. Return to the freezer for 10 more minutes. Serve.
Recipe Notes
- Store in the fridge or freezer in a covered container or zip-top bag.
- Note: Replace raspberries with strawberries or cherries for other chocolate-covered berry variations!

These look delicious! Can these yummy bites be served at room temperature without becoming a mess?
Lisa, they can be served at room temperature, but they should be kept refrigerated or frozen prior to serving. The nut-based recipes are a bit runnier than the coconut-based ones, and those are the ones you have to keep colder when serving. If you’re serving them indoors, you shouldn’t have a problem with them being out for an hour or perhaps longer. If you plan to serve them outside on a warm day, I would recommend keeping them in an ice chest until you’re ready! Does that answer your question?
Yum! These look delicious!
Thank you, Raia! They taste pretty amazing too! 😉
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I made these this morning using frozen cherries as that’s what I had. The bites were amazing and so quick and easy to make. Everyone loved them. Mine didn’t make a dough, but still had a good consistency after sitting for a while in the freezer.
Lindsey, do you use liquid coconut oil? I warmed the coconut oil first as my kitchen was cold and the oil was very hard.
The bites are almost gone now. I’ll make the avocado ones tomorrow. Purchased a copy of the e-book after making this recipe then sent my daughter the link and some funds so she could buy one too.
Wow, Marilyn! I’m so happy to hear this! My coconut oil is usually soft, not liquid. The consistency of the oil does change the consistency of the dough, but you’re right — everything works out in the freezer. 😉 Thank you so much for buying my book and recommending it to your family. That’s the highest compliment I can receive!
Is the base ingredient in all of these shredded coconut? My family does not like that product. Is there anything else that can be used for any of these no-bake treats other than that?
The base for 9 of the 12 recipes is unsweetened, shredded coconut. The other 3 are based with nuts. However, they do not taste coconut-y AT ALL. The coconut pairs well with the other flavors I use and is more of a vehicle for those flavors than the star flavor. There is not an ingredient substitute that I can recommend. Thanks!
I needed something to bring to our neighborhood Christmas get together on Thursday and these will be perfect. Thank you for sharing!
You’re so welcome, Cherie! I bet everyone in your neighborhood enjoys your treats!
I know what I’m making as Christmas presents for my coworkers!
Question: instructions say to drop the spoonfuls onto parchment paper; can they be put into little muffin / candy liners instead? I’m wondering if doing so would cause the paper to “stick” to the cookie and not release easily.
I think you’d be fine if you used silicon liners/molds, but paper might work. You could try a couple and test it before you do a whole batch! 🙂
So looking to trying these, Lindsey! We’re getting ready to start a healing diet so having these yummy bites will help us to not feel deprived. Thanks for making them available!
Thank you so much, Robin! I’m glad they give you some options, especially for when you need quick snacks and/or something sweet on your healing diet. Those are always the hardest for me to manage! Please let us know how you like them!
Oh my goodness…my kids and I made these today. They were SO good! We made them with strawberries, since that’s what I had in my freezer! We are looking forward to trying them with different berries for a different taste. Thanks so much for this easy, fun, and tasty recipe!! Even my 2 year old was able to get in on the action – I dropped a spoonful of dough in their hands and let them roll them into balls. I’m going to have to get this book!
WOW!!! These are great, and easy. Festive with the red color from the raspberries.
YUM. Can’t wait to try the other flavors.
I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes soon!
Oh wow, what a blessing. I am so looking forward to making a batch of these! With kiddos that have egg, nut, and wheat allergies in the family, it is really tough to find a treat that they can even eat. When that sort of treat turns out to be healthy as well, it’s a miracle! 🙂 Thank you Lindsey and Wardeh. 🙂
You are the person I had in mind when I created these treats, Marguerite! I’m so glad you’ve found a recipe that will work for your family!
What do you find that works best for longer term freezer storage…..If they last that long 🙂
I have a batch in the freezer right now, and having tasted the batter beforehand I think these are amazing! I didn’t have raspberries, so I used a mix of blueberries and strawberries. I can’t wait till they set and I get to add that lovely chocolate over them.
We follow a ketogenic lifestyle so I do not bake with raw honey Or coconut sugar. Can I use Swerve instead? I never know how to convert honey measurements to Swerve measurements. Any suggestions? Your recipes look amazing.
Hi Sharon,
This recipe depends on the liquid and stickiness of the honey or coconut syrup to hold together.
If it was a recipe where the sugar wasn’t an essential liquid, you could do this. Honey is more sweet than Swerve, so more is needed.

I’m thinking about making these for my friends at school for the end of the school year, do you think they will like them?
