Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine 2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut, 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pulse until sticky and well combined.
  2. Once the mixture is ready, form tablespoon-sized balls, packing them tightly to ensure they hold their shape.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped bites on it. Freeze for about 15 minutes or until firm.
  4. Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments. Dip each bite into the melted chocolate or drizzle over the top.
  5. Return dipped bites to the baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  6. Transfer the bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
