Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup almond butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (Paleo-compatible)
• 24 pieces whole almonds

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond butter, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined to form a sticky dough.

Step 2

Shape the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a tablespoon, using your hands. You should be able to make about 24 bite-sized treats.

Step 3

Place each ball onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Firmly press one whole almond on top of each coconut ball, allowing the almond to stick.

Step 4

Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the coconut balls to firm up.

Step 5

Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.

Step 6

Once the chocolate is melted, remove the coconut balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the chocolate, rolling to coat evenly.

Step 7

Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray.

Step 8

Refrigerate the dipped bites for an additional 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
