Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Work Surface
  2. First, find a clean and spacious area for your cooking adventure. Lay out all your ingredients: shredded coconut, almond butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of salt. This will set a joyful tone for what comes next, so let’s make sure everything is within reach!
  3. Step 2: Combine the Coconut Mixture
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup. Use a spatula to blend them together. The textures will start to meld into a sticky, sweet mixture. This is your base, and it smells divine! If desired, you can add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
  5. Step 3: Form the Bites
  6. Take a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. The mixture should be easily moldable. Place these coconut balls onto a lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each ball; they will need room to shine!
  7. Step 4: Freeze the Bites
  8. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial! Freezing helps the bites firm up, making them easier to coat later. Use this time to clean up any mess you made—you’ll be glad you did!
  9. Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
  10. While your coconut balls are chilling, melt your dark chocolate. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short bursts, stirring in between. The chocolate should be smooth and glossy—just the way we want it!
  11. Step 6: Dip and Decorate
  12. Remove the frozen coconut bites from the freezer. One by one, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Place them back on the lined baking sheet. This is where they start looking like little bites of heaven!
  13. Step 7: Final Freeze
  14. Once all the bites are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes. This final freeze sets the chocolate, giving you that perfect snap when you bite into your Almond Joy Coconut Bliss.
  15. Step 8: Enjoy!
  16. Your treats are ready to be savored! Take them out of the freezer and serve immediately. Watch them disappear as friends and family take their first bites. Feel free to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer, but let’s be honest; these are going to be a hit!

Notes

Tip 1: Experiment with Add-Ins
Feel free to get creative! Add chopped almonds or even a bit of vanilla extract to the coconut mixture for extra flavor. This recipe is versatile, so make it your own!
Tip 2: Chocolate Choices
You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate, depending on your preference. Each type will impart its distinct flavor to the Almond Joy Coconut Bliss bites.
Tip 3: Storage
Keep your delicious bites in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They can last up to two weeks in the fridge, although we doubt they’ll last that long!
