Coconut and chocolate come together to form these hard-to-resist bites.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded coconut + extra to coat
• 1⁄3 cup rice malt syrup

Chocolate Topping

• 1⁄3 cup coconut oil
• 1⁄2 cup rice malt syrup
• 1⁄2 cup raw cacao powder

Directions

1 Place the shredded coconut and rice malt syrup in a food processor and process for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the coconut is roughly chopped and the mixture comes together. Shape teaspoons of the mixture into small patties and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes or until firm.

2 To make the chocolate topping, place the oil, rice malt syrup and cacao powder in a saucepan over low heat and stir until smooth.

3 Using two forks, dip each patty into the chocolate topping to coat. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with extra coconut. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
