Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites Recipes

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 3 cups unsweetened finely shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup brown rice syrup (you can use honey or maple syrup as well)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or 1 cup chopped dark chocolate from a bar like Scharffen Berger)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

 Directions

FOR THE COCONUT BITES
Line a loaf pan or an 8 x 8 cake pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with coconut spray.
Add the coconut to a food processor and process for a few seconds to process the coconut into finer pieces.
With the processor running, add the rice syrup, vanilla and salt.
Process for about a minute or until the ingredients are blended.
Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared pan and spread out. Form into an even rectangle shape of about 1/2 inch thickness.
Place in the freezer and freeze for about 30 - 45 minutes or until the coconut bar has set.
Remove from freezer and cut the coconut bar into approximately 24 bite-size pieces.

FOR THE DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small sauce pan over a double broiler. Stir until the chips have completely melted. Remove from heat.
Dip each coconut piece of candy in the chocolate and set on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat.
Place the chocolate covered coconut bites either in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set, or set them in the refrigerator for 30 - 45 minutes to set.
