Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 pieces whole almonds
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
Step 2
Using your hands, form the coconut mixture into 12 small balls or bite-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
Gently press an almond into the top of each coconut ball, flattening them slightly.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the coconut-almond bites chill for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
While the bites are chilling, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 6
Remove the coconut-almond bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then place it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top of each chocolate-covered bite for added flavor.
Step 8
Return the bites to the freezer for another 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 9
Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy chilled!
