Viral Brownie Balls (Easy Tiktok Recipe)

These Viral Brownie Balls are rich, chocolatey, high in protein, and no-bake! The perfect healthy treat that tastes way too good to be this easy.

Let’s talk about the balls that broke the internet — and no, I’m not talking about your ex’s gym selfies.

I’m talking about these chocolate-covered, gooey-centered, chocolate viral brownie balls that are lowkey healthy but taste like a full-on dessert meltdown.

These babies have been blowing up on Reels and TikTok, and for good reason — they’re chewy, rich, and dangerously easy to make. 

No baking, no weird ingredients, no 15-step chaos. Just throw some pantry staples in a food processor, roll ’em up, dip ’em in melty chocolate, and try not to eat the entire batch in one sitting.

(Zero judgment if you do — this recipe makes six, so really, it’s just self-care.)

What I love most? They’re packed with wholesome ingredients that your body and tastebuds will thank you for. 

Dates bring the natural sweetness, protein powder gives them staying power, and the chocolate coating makes them feel super indulgent — even though they’re secretly kinda virtuous.

Whether you’re looking for a pre-workout snack, a sweet treat after dinner, or a mid-scroll pick-me-up, these brownie balls deliver. Let’s get into it — your next viral snack moment is loading.

That dark chocolate shell takes them to dessert-level status.

Perfect for pre-workout, post-dinner, or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Only a handful of ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes.

They store well in the fridge… but good luck making them last more than a day.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THIS NO BAKE BROWNIE BITES RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this sweet snack (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Soft Pitted Dates – The sweet, sticky base. Use Medjool dates for best texture. Soak if dry.
• Oat Flour – Helps bind everything. Sub with almond flour if needed.
• Cocoa Powder – Gives that rich brownie flavor.
• Chocolate Protein Powder – Boosts protein and chocolate vibes. Use your fave kind.
• Almond Butter – Adds healthy fats and creaminess. Swap for peanut or cashew butter.
• Honey – Natural sweetness and stickiness. Maple syrup works too.
• Vanilla Extract – Adds warmth and dessert energy. Optional but delish.
• Salt – Just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
• Dark Chocolate – For that glossy outer shell. Use quality chocolate.
• Coconut Oil – Helps the chocolate melt smooth and set perfectly.

HOW TO MAKE THE VIRAL CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BALLS

Add the dates, cocoa powder, protein powder, oat flour, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor.

Blend until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If it’s too dry, add a tiny splash of water or more almond butter.

Roll into 6 even balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.

Melt your dark chocolate with coconut oil until smooth.

Dip each ball into the chocolate coating, then place back on the tray. Can add course sea salt on top if desired.

Pop them in the fridge or freezer to set for 15–20 minutes.

Devour. Preferably with a little dramatic flair.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

Use soft Medjool dates for the best texture — soak them if they feel dry or tough.

Start with less oat flour and add more as needed — you want the dough sticky but rollable.

Taste the mixture before rolling to adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity.

Wet your hands slightly when rolling to keep the dough from sticking.

Chill the balls before dipping in chocolate for a cleaner, smoother coating.

Let the chocolate set in the fridge or freezer for that perfect snap.

STORING LEFTOVER BROWNIE BATTER BALLS

Store your brownie balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

If you want them firmer (or just like a chilled bite), freeze them for up to 2 months and let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.

Fair warning: they rarely last that long.

FAQS

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT NUT BUTTER IN THESE EASY BROWNIE BALLS?

Absolutely. Peanut butter gives a more indulgent flavor, while cashew butter is more neutral. Just use a natural, drippy kind for easy blending.

DO I HAVE TO USE PROTEIN POWDER IN THE VIRAL BROWNIE BALLS?

Nope! You can leave it out and add a bit more oat flour and cocoa powder to balance the texture and flavor.

CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE VEGAN?

Yes — just swap the honey for maple syrup or agave and make sure your melted chocolate and protein powder are vegan-friendly.

DO I NEED TO USE A FOOD PROCESSOR FOR THESE NO BAKE BROWNIE BALLS?

It’s highly recommended. A blender might work if it’s strong, but the dough is thick and sticky, so a food processor will make your life easier.
