The recipe comes from Kendra Vaculin's Hangry blog which aims to post noteworthy meals for those looking to satisfy cravings in a quick and simple manner. When Vaculin and her sister were young, they would cook without turning on any appliances via these bake-free snacks. She has since perfected the dessert with the use of graham crackers, almond butter, powdered sugar and [dark chocolate chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-bites). Approximately one dozen Chocolate Bon Bons can be made through Vaculin's post. For those that are [gluten free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-treats), the graham crackers can be swapped out. Of course, depending on how one prefers the treats, they can also be infused with varying toppings such as [coconut shavings, crushed almonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-coconut-almond-bites) and icing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Bake-free Desserts:** Opportunity for creating hassle-free and convenient dessert options without requiring an oven. - **Healthy Snacking:** Opportunity for creating healthy snack options without sacrificing taste and convenience. - **DIY Treats:** Opportunity for promoting creativity and self-sufficiency in making homemade treats. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to explore and offer more hassle-free and healthier dessert options. - **E-commerce:** Opportunity for e-commerce companies to offer DIY dessert kits and ingredients for individuals who prefer to make their own treats. - **Fitness and Wellness:** Opportunity for fitness and wellness companies to offer healthier snack options for on-the-go or post-workout. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fuss-Free Brownie Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-brownie-bites.md) - [Non-Glycemic Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-snacks.md) - [Filled Granola Butter Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-chocolate-bites.md) - [Indulgent Plant-Based Ganaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ganache.md) - [Soft-Baked Free-From Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-chip-cookies.md) - [Allergy-Friendly Ice Cream Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundrops.md) - [Non-Dairy Ice Cream Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-bonbons.md) - [Vegan Allergen-Free Snack Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohh-foods-snack-bites.md) - [Chocolatey Gluten-Free Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-bar.md)
