Chocolate strawberry date bites are easy to make with fresh strawberries, dates and melted chocolate in an ice cube tray and taste like fresh chocolate covered strawberries.
These chocolate strawberry date bites are incredibly easy to make in ice cube trays. They can save easily in the freezer and are ready for a quick energy boost.
Fresh dates are full of unrefined sugar, easy to find in the grocery produce section, and are high in fiber, iron and nutrients. Fresh strawberries and melted chocolate are the only other ingredients needed. And my favorite ice cube tray - this one is rubbery and so easy to remove treats intact.
