Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites
Ingredients
- Desiccated coconut - 2 cups
- Honey or maple syrup - 4 tbs
- Coconut oil (substitution not recommended) - 5 tbs
- Alcohol-free vanilla - 1 tsp
- Dark chocolate - 4 oz
Instructions
- Pulse the coconut in a blender or food processor until the texture becomes like thick flour. Transfer to a bowl and add the honey or maple syrup (your choice), coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until a thick paste forms.
- Using your hands, squeeze the mixture in your palm a few times shaping them into an oval then into about 18 1/2″ round balls. Pace the coconut balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Melt the chocolate over a double-boiler slowly and gently until smooth and spreadable.
