Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

I dreamt these up when I wanted chocolate chip cookies but didn't want the butter, sugar or the fuss of baking.  These were super easy and they are pretty tasty when you crave something sweet and chocolate!

1/4 cup almond butter
1 TBSP coconut oil
1 cup spelt flour
1 to 2 TBSP Stevia (depending on how sweet you want it)
pinch salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Place the almond butter and coconut oil* in a small sauce pan and warm stirring until smooth and runny.  Meanwhile, stir the remaining ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.  Add the melted almond butter mixture and stir until combined.  If too dry, melt additional almond butter, if too wet add more spelt flour.  It should be a firm dough that is easy to handle and roll into balls without falling apart. 
Roll into small balls approximately 1/2" in size.  refrigerate or freeze until ready to eat.
*If you desire a vanilla flavor to your bites, stir 1 tsp vanilla into the almond butter mixture just before adding to the dry ingredients.

Yield:  approximately 25 balls
