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 mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and forms a sticky dough. If it feels too dry, add the optional coconut cream to achieve a creamier consistency.

    Form the Bites: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into balls, spacing them evenly apart. If desired, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut for a beautiful finish.

      Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing the bites to firm up.

        Melt the Chocolate: While the bites are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.

          Coat the Bites: Once the coconut bites are firm, remove them from the refrigerator. Dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off.

            Set the Chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the bites are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your Sweet Chocolate Coconut Bites are ready to enjoy! Serve them chilled or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
