Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% cocoa or higher)

2 tablespoons coconut cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

Extra shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, almond flour, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until the ingredients are well-combined; the mixture should unify into a sticky dough. If you find the mixture too dry, blend in the optional coconut cream to achieve a smoother, creamier texture.

    Form the Bites: With your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and gently roll them into balls. Arrange these balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to leave space between them for ease of movement. If you wish, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut for a delightful, decorative finish.

      Chill: Place the baking sheet with the coconut balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will allow them to firm up, making them easier to handle when coated with chocolate.

        Melt the Chocolate: As the bites chill, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Heat the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring in between each session, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.

          Coat the Bites: Once the coconut bites have set, remove them from the refrigerator. Take each bite and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

            Set the Chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated coconut bites to the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. After coating all the bites, place the sheet back in the refrigerator for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Decadent Sweet Chocolate Coconut Bites are ready to be enjoyed! They can be served chilled or at room temperature. For optimal freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
