Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup whole almonds (for the center)
Instructions
- Combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Mix until you form a sticky dough.
- Take one whole almond and wrap a small amount of the coconut mixture around it to form a ball shape. Place the formed ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Place the baking sheet with the coconut balls into the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up completely.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You may need to use a fork to roll it around.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Return the finished truffles to the refrigerator for about 15 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 the dark chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips.
- Store these homemade candy bar copycat recipes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
