Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, peanut butter, and honey. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Add shredded coconut to the mixture and fold in gently, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Line a baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into uniform bite-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. You should be able to create about 12 bites.
- Place the formed bites on the prepared parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up.
- Melt dark chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to ensure smooth consistency.
- Remove bites from refrigerator and drizzle or partially dip each bite into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Return chocolate-coated bites to the parchment paper and sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top for garnish.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is completely set and bites are firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
Tips
- • For the smoothest dough, ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature before mixing. • Use a cookie scoop for perfectly uniform bite sizes, which not only looks professional but ensures consistent texture. • When melting chocolate, use low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning. • For a prettier finish, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content. • If the mixture feels too sticky, refrigerate for 5 minutes before forming balls. • Want extra crunch? Toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding to the mixture. • These bites are best stored in the refrigerator and taste most delicious when served chilled.
