4 Quick, Bite-Sized, No-Bake Chocolate Treats to Sweeten Up Your Eid Al-Adha

Eid Al-Adha is right around the corner, and every family and household has their own traditions to prepping and getting ready for Eid. Some of us have traditional desserts and foods that we make in advance to share with guests that visit our homes, or to distribute and gift to family, friends, co-workers and neighbours.

But we also know, that Eid Al-Adha comes fast and somewhat abruptly… sadly, we haven’t centred our habits and activities around this Eid, the same way we do for Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr. (side note, that should change, we should hype this one up just as much!) But if you haven’t got around to finding a recipe, prepping your mother’s go-to cookies or traditional dishes, these bite-sized, no-bake chocolate treats are a win if you are looking to packing them in baggies or cute tiny boxes to gift to co-workers or neighbours. Always a sweet little treat!
