No-bake honey-almond cereal bites: The 5-minute treat you need in your life

When you need a treat fast, you’ll want to reach for these gluten-free, no-bake honey-almond cereal bites. Not only are they super easy to make, but they include healthy ingredients too.

Drizzled in melted chocolate with almond butter and honey included in the mix, you’d never take these treats for anything but delicious. They’re so simple to make (perfect when little hands want to help in the kitchen), and you likely have all the ingredients you need.

These no-bake bites are similar to a cookie but a world apart, since there’s no butter or flour or baking involved. They’re crunchy, sweet and fun to serve. What could be better? I added ground flaxseed to the mix, just for a healthy ingredient that goes unnoticed, except that it adds to the nuttiness of these goodies.
