Gluten Free Coconut Rocky Road Peanut Butter Bites. Super simple no bake peanut butter bites that are packed with a rocky road and coconut filling! Made with natural ingredients that are dairy free, grain free, and healthy! Great for kids, snacking, and real food fuel for all.
Well guys. I feel like we should in the week with more classic treats. It’s been that kind of week here at our house. A little rocky … A Rocky road (see what I did there?)
In fact, I might’ve gone overboard on the chocolate coconut frosting on my vegan white cake, but hey, when life hands you frosting, you FROST everything. Okay I’m exaggerating, but you can relate right? Speaking of rocky road and coconut….tad dah!! April’s Healthy Bite Flavor is here!
Gluten Free No Bake Coconut Rocky Road Peanut Butter Bites!
If you couldn’t already tell, I’ve been quite obsessed with toasted coconut and marshmallow lately. There’s just something about it that just screams summer nights and campfire memories. Even though we’re not in summer yet, it already feels like summer in Texas. That’s normal though. Come Summer time, it will feel like you’re living on the equator, but i digress.
Main focus here.. Healthy bites … mmm rocky road… mmm peanut butter bites…. mmm coconut (again).
So let me tell you how these Gluten free coconut rocky road peanut butter bites came about. Mmmm k?
First of all, we have not one, not two, but 6 birthdays in my family at the end of April and beginning of May. It’s like one big birthday fest each week. One of those birthday’s just happens to be for the kiwi. Each year I try to make him a New Zealand dessert (to remind him of home), plus a new American dessert he’s never tried. Well guess what? He hadn’t even heard of Rocky Road flavor before, yet alone tried the ice cream. I gasped! How is this? We’ve been married for over 8 years and I never knew! Shameful wife I am.
It was time to change this.
Being that the rest of my family also loves rocky road and all things peanut butter, I decided we needed to make a mass amount rocky road bites for April and May. That way the kiwi could experience this whole marshmallow, chocolate, nutty experience and so that I looked liked the cool aunt when making these for the kiddos birthdays/celebrations.
Good wife. Cool Aunt. Do I get extra life credit now?
I hope so.
Regardless of my status, these gluten free no bake coconut rocky road peanut butter bites are kinda epic. For one, I used REAL marshmallows. Some of my toasted coconut marshmallows are chopped up inside and so are these all natural marshmallows. I also used peanut flour, peanut butter, coconut flour, allergy friendly chocolate chips, honey, walnuts, and of course unsweetened COCONUT. Think of it as reeses PB cups, coconut chocolate chip cookies, and rocky road combined. Not too shabby eh? But gluten free and dairy free and so much better for you!

My favorite ice cream flavor is actually chocolate sorbet! If there is ever a vegan peanut butter ice cream, however, I’m SOLD. Chocolate and peanut butter? DEFINITELY SOLD. I used to love s’mores myself, and I can imagine just taking one of these bites and stuffing them in between two graham crackers with melted chocolate. It might not taste like a marshmallow, but if it’s sweet, soft and peanut buttery, that’s good enough for me!
Hi Lindsay! So glad I found your blog and inspiration recipes for healthy living. Can’t wait to try out these coconut rocky road peanut butter bites. I think these will definitely satisfy my sweet tooth cravings in a healthy way 🙂 Thank you!
Yum, yum, yum, yum, YUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM! These look incredible! Anything with peanut butter always wins with me – but rocky road? Hellloooo deliciousness!
My favourite icecream flavour is always anything with chocolate. I’m definitely a chocolate loving girl!
I’ve missed these photos.
oh well they’ve missed you! and me too. haha
Just saying HI! It has been a crap a** day! 🙂
Oh no! Sorry! Feel free to vent to me anytime. I get it
Oh love this combo! I’ve made s’more ones and sometimes felt they needed something because I’m a salty and sweet combo girl. I LOVE peanut butter so why I never thought of this.. .GENIUS! I need to whip these up after I get back from my trip next weekend….already pinned!
We should add gluten free pretzels next and makes it sweet salty perfection right?
I love rocky road so these look amazing! Thankyou for reminding me I need to send a birthday card to the UK for my Mum ha! I like the sound of snack prep Sunday. I have totally been failing on the prep front and I have been spending dolllllars left right and centre on store bought snacks! Need to get back on it 🙂
Haha I know. I do same. Let’s start Sunday prep day for sure!
YUM! coconut flour! genius!
These look absolutely delicious and my kiddos would love them!!
totally kid approved!
It cracks me up the things they don’t have in other countries. Apparently there’s not Mexican food in AUS too?! I could’t live. LOL!
These balls look fabulous. It’s been wayyyyy too long since Ive had any balls. #TWSS
there’s mexican, but not real mexican. I mean like it’s soooo bland. My husband wants us to start a taco truck in NZ or AUS for that very reason. LOL!
Errrrr.. can we come too???
You better!
I ended up making a separate board in Pinterest just for protein/energy bites since I was always pinning yours!
Yes!! Haha I have 2 boards already. Lol
OH my, these bites sound epically delicious. I had my first bowl of rocky road ice cream when I was in jr. high – eddy’s. I fell in LOVE! Such a tasty flavor and the marshmallows are my favorite part! The Hubs loves Moose Tracks too. Peanut butter and chocolate all the way!
Get in my belly!!! These sound amazing!!
So did your husband enjoy his first Rocky Road experience?! 🙂
Your healthy bites are seriously the best!!
Rocky road AND peanut butter?! Best wife and best aunt for sure! Happy Friday friend!
Happy Friday future wife! Wife to Miguel that is hehe
They look so good! But my problem with easy grabbable snacks like that is that it would be difficult to stop at just 1 or 2. I could see myself going through half of dozen of these throughout the day!
Wow! All of my favorite things rolled into one ball! I can use Dandies vegan marshmallows, too!
So many birthdays!! Happy early bday to James. My favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip which is why I loved your healthy bites! I need to make some healthy bites soon. I love all the flavors that you come up with.
oh yes, so perfect for summer! minty freshness and no nuts! LOL! Miss you.
I am all about that cool Aunt status and these bites totally look like they would be a hit with the nephews! I also have all of the ingredients on hand and am in need of a quick pre-workout snack….this are definitely going on the menu for the weekend!
My hubby is gonna LOVE these!!;:-) I can’t eat peanut butter sadly, but I’ve been loving all things coconut too!! Thanks for the recipe, oh and my favorite ice cream is vanilla, boring I know 😉
You can totally make this with almond or sunflower seed butter too. And instead of peanut flour use pea protein. Let me know if you try it friend. xxoo
Perfect! Will do 😀
My favorite ice cream flavor is definitely the classic chocolate-peanut butter combination.
I was just talking to someone about what exactly rocky road was, haha! I think this version…may be the best 😉
Favorite ice cream has changed through the years. Growing up I Loved strawberry or Neapolitan. When I was a little older, coffee ice cream was all I wanted!
Yum this is everything I love! Of course I love a lot of things, but still, YUM! I can’t narrow down one favorite ice cream flavor but if I had to create one, it would have a vanilla base with cookie dough, peanut butter and fudge chunks I think. Makes me miss my high school ice cream scooping days!
You gotta make homemade marshmallows then! You’d love with fudge. just sayin…
Love this flavor combo for healthy bites! My favorite flavor ice cream is moosetracks, but chocolate/PB combo is a very close second!
OMG i forgot about moosetracks
I’m pretty sure I would eat them all! Haha!
I do like me some rocky road, but I didn’t always. I also love French Silk. Or smores ice cream. Or just give me a smore and a I’ll be good.
how about i give you all three! ?
