Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients. This will streamline your cooking process and ensure you don’t forget anything important.
In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), combine the dark chocolate, coconut oil, and honey. Let them melt together, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully integrated.
In a separate bowl, mix the shredded coconut, coconut flour, and salt. Once your chocolate mixture is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and then pour this over the coconut mixture. Mix well until everything is nicely coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small balls and place them on the prepared sheet. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly with cold water before shaping the balls.
Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes, or until the coconut bites are firm.
If desired, you can double-dip the chilled bites in more melted chocolate for an extra-rich chocolate layer. Simply melt additional chocolate with a bit of coconut oil, dip each bite, and chill again to set.
Notes
