Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Whole almonds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup. Mix well until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- Roll the coconut mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press one whole almond into the center of each ball if desired.
- Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet. If you did not place an almond inside, press a small piece of almond onto the top of each truffle immediately.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
- If you prefer milk chocolate, substitute milk chocolate chips for the dark chocolate chips.
- Store these homemade candy recipes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
