Maple Chocolate Chip Toffee Bites are gluten-free, paleo friendly, vegan, no-bake snacks that are just plain delicious! This is a kid-friendly, bite-sized, healthier dessert recipe, perfect for holidays, snacking, and even breakfast.  Just sayin….

I’m gonna make this short and sweet today. Actually I’m just going to get to the point. Those things pictured above, those maple chocolate chip toffee bites?  They have come and gone twice in our house already. Can you say no-bake bites addict? Yes, that’s us – and my family, because I got them hooked!  

Maple chocolate chip toffee bites. No baking required. You guessed it, this are my healthy bites flavor of the month for September. It’s kinda similar to the salted caramel bites, but also very different.

But I have a small confession. I planned this no-bake bites recipe months ago, but I’ve been holding out on you. You see, I made the Paleo Maple toffee it at the beginning of the month just so that I could make these toffee bites later. I know, I’m sneaky. But hear me out.

For one, I really want to make homemade toffee; toffee that is easy to make, and like I said, Paleo friendly. And two, I had this major craving my BEST EVER maple chocolate chip cookies. My dilemma?  Trying to save some extra maple toffee so I could actually make these maple chocolate chip toffee bites later.

Paleo homemade toffee… mmm!

Anyway, I ended up with just a cup of maple toffee left over. Just enough for making maple chocolate chip toffee bites.

Although I really wish I had made more to begin with. Yes, first world problems, the struggle is real.

Maple Chocolate Chip Toffee Bites that are paleo friendly, no bake, and just plain delicious! These maple chocolate chip toffee bites make for healthier gluten free "bite size" dessert. Perfect for holidays, snacking, and even breakfast.

This is why am posting a healthy bites recipe at the end of the month. Hey better late than never right? But I don’t think you’ll mind, because I’m really giving you another reason to make that maple toffee.

Have I said the word toffee and maple enough yet? BEST THINGS EVER!

Killing two birds with one stone here. You can make these maple chocolate chip toffee bites, or if you’re like me, you can make a big batch of the toffee, share some with your family, then keep the rest for these bites. Or just keep it all for you.

Yes, I did try to make these bites Paleo friendly with the Paleo maple toffee. But if you’re in a time crunch, you can certainly buy your own toffee bits at the store, and throw it into these bites. Sorry, those are not paleo.

That’s okay, we will then label the maple chocolate chip toffee bites Paleo-ish with a “hint” of white sugar, and a “touch” of some ingredients the caveman really didn’t eat. But shhh….  we won’t tell them. Sound good?

Speaking of good… here’s the maple chocolate chip toffee bites recipe.

Description

This no-bake Maple Chocolate Chip Toffee Bites recipe is gluten-free, vegan and paleo friendly. Makes the perfect kid-friendly snacks or healthier dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (or 4 pieces) paleo toffee – cut or chopped into bits, or English toffee bits found in the baking section (not paleo)
  • 1 cup coconut flour (sifted) or other gluten-free flour of choice.
  • 1 cup almond flour or almond meal
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (we use dark chocolate or Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 cup chunky almond butter
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup maple syrup, depending on the flour you use.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • coconut sugar, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice to roll in after freezing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop up your toffee and transfer into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add your almond meal, coconut flour, and chocolate chips. Mix well.
  3. Next, add in your nut butter. Stir ingredients all together.
  4. Add in your maple syrup a little at a time, just in case you need more or less depending on the flour/toffee you use.
  5. Add vanilla extract then mix again well with hands.
  6. Roll into balls 1 to 1.5 inches in size and place onto a cookie tray or plastic ware with parchment paper underneath.
  7. Let them freeze for 20-30 minutes then transfer into a Ziplock bag.
  8. Once frozen, dust with cinnamon, coconut sugar, or pumpkin spice.
  9. Store in a covered container or Ziploc bag in the fridge or freezer for up to 6 weeks.

Notes

  • Feel free to use other toffee or caramel bits if you don’t want to make the homemade paleo toffee.
  • If making vegan, sub the toffee for peanut butter chips or other vegan-friendly candy of choice.

Serving Suggestions for Maple Chocolate Chip Toffee Bites

Now here’s my suggestion on how to use these bites. Remember those whiskey cake bites I made last winter? Yes Boozy balls. Well these bites have similar purpose! Cake texture and perfect for sharing during the holidays! They are great gluten free treats for parties or for people that might have food allergies. But still easy and tasty.

Remember, we aim to please for those who have food allergies or sensitivity . Ahem, like a lot of us. *raises my hand.*

I’m going to make messages in the recipe box for those who are vegan or sensitive to dairy.

Oh, I forgot, I was supposed to make this short and sweet. Yes, weekend things must go on and so much life. So maple chocolate chip chocolate bites. Not a lot of ingredients, Paleo friendly. And ready in 15 minutes or less. DO IT!

Important: I’m not responsible for you becoming addicted to no bake maple chocolate chip toffee bites.

In fact, I might encourage it. Ha ha ha.

Okay, let’s get the ball rolling… See what I did there? Oh goodness,  somebody spiked the bites. Kidding, although I’m thinking apple honey bourbon bites might happen next month. Stay tuned. And happy first week of Fall.

[Tweet “YUM! No Bake Maple Chocolate Chip Toffee Bites! #paleo friendly and just plain delicious!”]

Have you ever made your own toffee bites? Maple chocolate chip…. best combo for fall, am I right?

 Cheers!

P.S

Today is my last day at the style and branding Pinch of Yum workshop. It could not have come at a better time. Feeling refreshed. Feeling inspired. Feeling blessed to be able to know such talented caring people that share their gifts with us! Will write more soon. My season of self investment is truly paying off, more emotionally than anything.

    Geez, Lindsay. You’re such an enabler 😛 I’m basically obsessed with the idea of maple chocolate chip though. I recently bought some chocolate that was filled with a maple butter, and oooooomg. Insanely good. I can see how these would become an addiction.

    So I’ve never made actual toffee before, but I did make sticky toffee pudding. Does that count? Actually, I repurposed those as balls. Bonus points!!!

    I love when recipes come together like that – repurposing leftovers make life so much more creative. And delicious. Thanks for reminding me about those whiskey balls too! No need to encourage my addiction… 😛

    Can’t wait for the apple honey bourbon bites!!!
