So thankful to my friend Dionne for giving me the recipe for these yummy treats!! Sometimes you just REALLY need a chocolate fix and these are perfect for that! It doesn't hurt that they also have two of my latest obsessions, coconut and almond butter, in the mix either!!
Healthy Almond Joy Bites
Recipe from Dionne
Ingredients:
5 oz. bag unsweetened coconut (I got it from the bulk bin at Winco, I used 1 1/2 cups)
2/3 cup coconut oil, melted (plus 1 tbsp. for chocolate coating later)
1/2 cup almond butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
Mix 2/3 cup coconut oil, vanilla, coconut and almond butter in a large bowl. Place in refrigerator until a little set. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet with wax paper/parchment. Place cookie sheet in freezer until balls are frozen. Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and 1 tbsp. coconut oil in microwave at 30 second intervals until smooth. Dip the frozen balls into the chocolate topping. Put back into freezer for a few minutes until set. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
