Ingredients
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the desiccated coconut, maple syrup, and coconut cream together. Process until the coconut mixture is combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place onto a pan lined with wax or parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator until firm.
In a microwave-safe glass bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut, removing to stir once or twice until smooth.
Dip each ball into the chocolate allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Place the chocolate balls onto the waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in the refrigerator. These sweets can also be stored in the freezer for up to one month.
