Ingredients
  

1 cup pitted Medjool dates

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if preferred)

Optional: Chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds) for extra crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: If your Medjool dates are on the dry side, soak them in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. Once softened, drain the water and gently pat the dates dry with a paper towel.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, add the soaked dates, unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process the mixture until it is thoroughly combined and forms a sticky dough consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.

      Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Once the mixture is blended, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and any chopped nuts or seeds you choose to add for a delightful crunch.

        Shape into Bites: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth, bite-sized balls.

          Coat in Coconut: Roll each ball in the additional shredded coconut, ensuring they are evenly and fully coated for a tropical finish.

            Chill: Arrange the coconut bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray and place them in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve your No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Bites chilled straight from the fridge for a cool and satisfying treat!
