Instructions
Combine nuts and flax seed in a food processor and process until finely ground.
Add remaining ingredients to the food processor and process until the dough just starts to come together into a ball.
Transfer dough out onto a large piece of parchment paper and form into a ball. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and gently roll out into a disc shape about 1/4-1/3" thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out small circles in the dough, re-rolling as necessary to use up all the dough. Arrange the brownie bites on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the chocolate drizzle by melting all the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Remove the brownie bites from the freezer and drizzle with the chocolate mixture (you can garnish with additional cacao nibs here too if you'd like). Allow the chocolate to set. Keep brownie bites refrigerated in an airtight container to store.
Notes
For vegan and paleo option, make sure to use dairy and sugar free chocolate chips like these Enjoy Life chocolate chips.
