Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup creamy almond butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for optional coating)

Additional shredded coconut (for rolling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour and sweetened shredded coconut. Use a spatula or a whisk to thoroughly combine the two ingredients until they are evenly mixed.

    Incorporate Wet Ingredients: To the bowl, add the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix the ingredients together until a consistent and sticky dough forms, ensuring that all dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Shape into Balls: With clean hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form balls about 1 inch in diameter. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

        Chill for Firmness: Once all the balls are shaped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes. This will help them firm up for easier handling.

          Optional Chocolate Coating: If you choose to coat your bliss balls in chocolate, melt the dark chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until fully melted and smooth.

            Dip into Chocolate: Carefully dip each chilled coconut almond ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

              Optional Coconut Rolling: For an added touch, you can roll the chocolate-coated bliss balls in extra shredded coconut before laying them back on the baking sheet. This adds a delightful texture and visual appeal.

                Final Chill: Return the baking sheet to the fridge and allow the chocolate to set for an additional 15-20 minutes.

                  Serve and Delight: Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Sweet Coconut Almond Bliss Balls to a serving plate or store them in an airtight container. These make a wonderful sweet snack or dessert that everyone will enjoy!
