Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 120 grams almond butter
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 50 grams shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 50 grams crushed almonds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Add the coconut oil to the bowl with the chocolate.
Step 3
Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter, raw honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Once the chocolate is melted, leave it to cool slightly but still in a liquid form.
Step 7
Using a teaspoon, dollop small mounds of the almond butter mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, each about 1 teaspoon in size (aim for roughly 20 mounds).
Step 8
Chill the almond butter mounds in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 9
After the mounds have set, take them out of the freezer.
Step 10
Using two forks, dip each almond butter mound into the melted chocolate to coat fully.
Step 11
Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, and place the coated bon bon back onto the parchment paper.
Step 12
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle each bon bon with shredded coconut and crushed almonds.
Step 13
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 14
Once set, transfer the bon bons to an airtight container and store them in the fridge until ready to serve.
