No-Bake Dark Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites

A chilled, gluten-free cookie dough bar made with almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup and two depths of 80Noir Ultra dark chocolate.

Sometimes you want all the comfort of cookie dough without turning on the oven. These chilled bites combine soft almond flour dough, creamy peanut butter, pieces of 72% dark chocolate and a glossy 87.5% dark chocolate topping for a rich, satisfying treat with no baking required.

No oven required Gluten-free ingredients No refined sugar added Made with 72% and 87.5% dark chocolate

Ingredients

A soft cookie dough base studded with dark chocolate, finished with a deeper ultra-dark chocolate layer.

For the Cookie Dough Layer

  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 30g 80Noir Ultra 72% Dark Chocolate , roughly chopped

For the Chocolate Layer

Chocolate contrast: The 72% pieces bring a softer, fruit-led chocolate bite through the dough, while the 87.5% topping adds a deeper, more intense cacao finish.

Method

Mix, press, coat and chill. The refrigerator does all the work.

  1. Line a small 9 × 5-inch loaf tin or similarly sized container with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift the slab out later.
  2. Add the almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and sea salt to a mixing bowl.
  3. Stir until everything is fully combined and a soft, smooth cookie dough forms.
  4. Fold through the chopped 72% dark chocolate, distributing the pieces evenly through the mixture.
  5. Transfer the dough to the lined tin and press it down firmly into an even layer.
  6. Melt the 87.5% dark chocolate gently in the microwave in short intervals, stirring regularly, or over a bowl of barely simmering water.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer and smooth it evenly to the edges.
  8. Place in the refrigerator until completely firm, or use the freezer for a faster set.
  9. Lift the slab out using the parchment paper and slice into small bars, squares or bite-sized pieces.
  10. Store chilled in an airtight container.
Clean slicing tip: Allow the slab to stand at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting. A warm, dry knife will help prevent the top chocolate layer from cracking.

Why These Bites Feel More Satisfying

Almond flour, nut butter, coconut oil and dark chocolate create a richer, more substantial bite than conventional cookie dough made mainly from refined flour and sugar.

Almond Flour

Almond flour brings a soft texture alongside naturally occurring fibre, protein, vitamin E and unsaturated fats.

Peanut Butter

Creamy peanut butter adds body, richness and plant protein while helping bind the no-bake dough.

Dark Chocolate

The two cacao strengths create layered flavour, from softer fruit notes to a deeper ultra-dark finish.

Maple & Coconut

Maple syrup adds measured sweetness while coconut oil helps the bars firm into a smooth, chilled texture.

A note on wellbeing: These bites are naturally rich and energy-dense. Enjoy them as a considered snack or small dessert rather than treating them as an unlimited “health food.”

Texture & Flavour

Soft and creamy underneath, crisp and deeply chocolatey on top.

Soft Cookie Dough Centre

Almond flour and peanut butter create a tender, dense texture with a gentle nutty sweetness and pieces of 72% chocolate throughout.

Ultra-Dark Chocolate Finish

The chilled 87.5% topping adds a clean snap and a more intense cacao note that balances the sweeter base.

Serving Suggestions

Keep them chilled and slice according to the moment.

Afternoon Bite

Enjoy a small square with tea, coffee or a short cacao shot.

After-Dinner Treat

Cut into slim fingers and serve cold as a simple chocolate finish.

For Sharing

Arrange on a serving plate with strawberries, cherries or toasted nuts.

Make With Family

A simple no-bake recipe that older children can help mix, press and decorate.

The Final Serve

Soft almond cookie dough, creamy peanut butter and two layers of dark chocolate come together in a chilled no-bake bite that feels nostalgic, indulgent and beautifully simple.
