Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds (or whole almonds for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup. Mix well until the mixture forms a sticky dough that holds together when pressed.
- Roll the coconut mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press one chopped almond piece into the top center of each ball, if desired.
- Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm them up. This step is important for easy dipping.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle out, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet. If you did not add an almond before freezing, press a whole almond into the top of each wet truffle now.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use bittersweet chocolate instead of dark chocolate chips.
- If your coconut mixture seems too dry, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to help bind it.
- Store these homemade candy bar treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
