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.

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.

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.

    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!!!

    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.
