Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix coconut, coconut oil, honey/maple syrup and vanilla extract. Press into a mini muffin tin (should make about 12-16 bites). Let cool in the freezer for 30 minutes.

While the coconut cools, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together. Spoon the chocolate over top of the coconut mixture in the muffin tin. Top with the coconut or nuts and freeze again until hardened. When you’re ready to eat, let them come to room temperature for a few minutes, then enjoy.
