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 preferred)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Optional: Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: Begin by adding the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to mix thoroughly until all ingredients come together to form a sticky and cohesive dough.

    Form the Bites: With clean hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to create bite-sized balls. Aim for a diameter of about 1 inch. Place each ball onto a clean plate or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each for ease of coating later.

      Chill the Bites: Once you have rolled all the mixture into balls, cover the plate or baking sheet with plastic wrap. Transfer it to the refrigerator and allow the bites to chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Microwave on medium power in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth in texture.

          Coat the Bites: After chilling, remove the bites from the refrigerator. Using a fork, gently dip each chilled coconut bite into the melted chocolate, making sure they are completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined sheet.

            Add Garnish: If you wish, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over each chocolate-coated bite immediately after dipping them, ensuring the flakes adhere to the chocolate before it sets.

              Chill Again: Return the coated bites to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened around each bite.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is set and firm, these Decadent Sweet Chocolate Coconut Bites are ready to be enjoyed! They make a perfect quick snack or a delightful treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.
