Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 24 pieces Whole raw almonds
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips (low sodium)
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the coconut mixture into mini bite-sized mounds (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Press one whole almond gently onto the top of each coconut mound, slightly flattening it.
Step 4
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 5
Spoon or drizzle a teaspoon of melted chocolate over each coconut-almond mound, ensuring they are well covered.
Step 6
If using, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate-covered bites for an added flavor kick.
Step 7
Refrigerate the bites for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Step 8
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
