Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup coconut cream

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Optional: Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and form a sticky dough.

    Form the Bites: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter). Place the balls on a clean plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      Chill the Bites: Once all the bites are formed, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

          Coat the Bites: Once the bites have chilled, remove them from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated bites back on the parchment-lined sheet.

            Add Garnish: If desired, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top of each chocolate-coated bite before the chocolate hardens.

              Chill Again: Place the coated bites back in the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, enjoy these decadent Sweet Chocolate Coconut Bites as a quick snack or a delightful dessert!
