Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 12 pieces Whole almonds
• 5 ounces Dark chocolate (85% cacao or higher, paleo-friendly)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is well combined and sticky.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture and shape it into a small log or oval shape, placing it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form 12 pieces.

Step 4

Press an almond on top of each coconut log, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Place the tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the coconut-mixture is firm.

Step 6

Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring frequently until smooth.

Step 7

Remove the coconut logs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each log into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered, and gently tap off the excess chocolate.

Step 8

Return the chocolate-covered Almond Joys to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 9

Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set.

Step 10

Once set, store the Paleo Homemade Almond Joys in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
