Categories     Candies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1¾ cups unsweetened, flaked coconut
about 25 whole almonds, toasted
1 giant bar of dark chocolate - my choice is ghiradelli
2 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
  • 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
  • 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
  • 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
  • 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8. a pinch of salt
  • 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
  • 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
  • 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
  • 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
  • 13. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened coconut flakes for a healthier option.
  • If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use shredded coconut instead.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
  • If you want a sweeter ball, add more honey or maple syrup.
  • If you want a crunchier ball, add some chopped nuts or seeds.
  • For a fun variation, try dipping the balls in melted chocolate and then rolling them in crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Coconut chocolate balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a quick snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these tasty treats in no time.
