- In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of water or additional maple syrup until it holds together when pressed.

- Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
