COCOA COCONUT CHOCOLATE BITES
These rich chocolates will make you look like a gourmet chocolatier. These are good for desserts with tea/coffee at a gathering. Use organic ingredients and cute paper liners to impress. Keep chilled until served as they'll begin to melt outside of the refrigerator in about 15 minutes. For this reason they're not particularly kid-friendly.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT GRANOLA BITES
These four-ingredient bites are so awesome. They're a little crunchy after the chocolate has hardened a bit. The making of them can get a little messy, but it only means you get to lick the chocolate from your fingers constantly and nobody is there to stop you.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a small saucepan with about an inch of simmering water and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and add the granola and flax seeds and stir to combine. Stick the bowl in the freezer to cool and harden the mixture a little bit, about 6 minutes. This makes it easier to roll the mixture into little balls.
- Arrange the coconut on a large baking sheet. Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, scoop out a small amount of the chocolate-granola mixture and roll it around in the coconut, making little balls. Little bites. Little ball bites. Repeat with the remaining chocolate-granola mixture and coconut.
- Place the tray back in the freezer to harden, at least 5 minutes. Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE BITES
Do you like chocolate and coconut? Do you like Mounds bars? This is better! My daughter makes this for me. It is a "died and gone to heaven" confection! Easy, too! (She couldn't find unsweetened dried coconut in our town, so she just used all sweetened flaked coconut)

Steps:
- In a medium sized pot, over medium low heat, melt chocolate, pb, syrup, cocoa, vanilla & sea salt. Once the everything is melted and combined (about 3-4 minutes), take off the heat & stir in the coconut. It will be a bit thick. Let it cool for a minute. Then, using your hands form TBL sized balls. If you want, you can roll in extra coconut. Cool in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Keep stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly impact the flavor of the coconut chocolate bites. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) for the best results.
- Chop the chocolate finely: This will help it melt more evenly and smoothly.
- Don't overcook the coconut mixture: You want it to be thick and creamy, but not dry and crumbly.
- Chill the coconut mixture before dipping it in chocolate: This will help the chocolate set more quickly and smoothly.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even dried fruit to decorate the coconut chocolate bites.

Coconut chocolate bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying snack that everyone will love.
