Servings: 12 "Bites"
Ingredients
For the coconut layer
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- ¼ cup honey
For the chocolate
- ½ cup unsweetened cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the toppings
- ¼ cup raw almonds
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, pulse unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut oil and coconut flour together. On low speed, slowly drizzle in honey until the mixture turns into a sticky dough.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the coconut mixture into 12 silicone cup candy molds (about 12 peanut butter cup size molds). Press the dough into an even layer. Chill in the fridge while preparing the chocolate.
- In a small saucepan, combine all chocolate ingredients. Heat over low heat until melted through and a fudge-like consistency forms, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the coconut mixture molds from the fridge. Spoon about a teaspoon of the melted chocolate mixture over top of the coconut layer. Spread in an even-layer with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- While the chocolate is still warm, press a few pieces of almonds and a sprinkle of coconut into the chocolate.
- Return to the fridge for at least an hour to set.
Notes
- These candies store well in an air-tight container at room temperature for at least a week and in the fridge for 2 weeks. If storing in the fridge, bring to room temperature before serving.
- To make these bites Vegan, simply swap the honey for maple syrup!
