Unsweetened shredded coconut is the star ingredient in this recipe, adding both texture and flavor. Nutritionally, it is rich in dietary fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health. It also contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of healthy fat that can provide energy and may contribute to weight management. The subtle sweetness and chewy texture of coconut create a delightful contrast to the rich chocolate, making each bite a little piece of heaven.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almond flour

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

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

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for chocolate coating)

Optional: Flaked coconut for rolling

Instructions
 

Prep the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and sticky.

    Shape the Bites: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture (about a tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet. Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and the additional tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

        Dip the Bites: Remove the chilled coconut balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before transferring them back to the lined baking sheet.

          Finish with Coconut: If desired, roll the chocolate-coated bites in flaked coconut for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

            Set and Serve: Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set. Once set, your Sweet Chocolate Coconut Bites are ready to enjoy!
