Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.333 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3.5 ounces Dark chocolate (85% cocoa, sugar-free)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is homogeneous.
Step 3
Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls or flat bars, approximately 1 inch in diameter for balls, or 2x1 inches for bars. Place each candy shape onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet with the coconut candy shapes into the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 5
While the candies are chilling, break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt them. You can do this by placing the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heating it in 30-second increments, stirring in between until fully melted, or by using a double boiler method on the stove.
Step 6
Remove the hardened coconut candies from the freezer. Dip each candy into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and place it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7
Once all candies are coated, return them to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 8
Remove the candies from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
