Dark Chocolate Covered Coconut Bites

These Dark Chocolate Covered Coconut Bites are so easy, no-bake, and will disappear super fast from your fridge! Enjoy these healthy bites without worrying about your sugar level!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp. coconut oil divided
• 3 cups pHresh Certified Organic Cacao Powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Add 2 cups of flaked coconut to the bowl of a food processor. Make sure the coconut is unsweetened.
2. Turn the food processor on and allow to run for a good 3-5 minutes, until the coconut starts to look crumbly and some moisture started to be released. You almost want the consistency of a rough flour.
3. Remove the coconut and add to a mixing bowl.
4. Add honey, 2 tbsp. coconut oil, and vanilla extract, and stir to combine.
5. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
6. Take about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and squeeze it into a small ball in your hands. You may need to work with it and make sure it’s good and packed together so it stays in a ball and using a few drops of water to wet your hands will help keep the coconut from sticking.
7. Once it’s nicely formed into a ball, place it on your parchment paper-lined tray and repeat with the remaining coconut. You should have about 15-20 balls.
8. Place into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes or until the coconut oil has solidified.
9. While waiting on the coconut oil to harden, melt the dark chocolate for dipping by setting up either a double boiler or a large bowl placed over, but not touching, a pot of boiling water.
10. Add the Cacao Powder and the remaining 1/2 tsp. of the coconut oil and let both melt completely while stirring occasionally.
11. Once everything is smooth, turn off the heat, but leave the bowl on the pot to keep warm.
12. Now, one coconut bite at a time, drop into the melted chocolate, and toss around using a spoon or fork until it’s completely covered in the dark chocolate.
13. Then, transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
14. Repeat with the remaining bites and then return to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
