Coconut, and Honey, and Chocolate, Oh My!

These little bundles of joy are something you can feel good about! This is a no-bake dessert that is easy to make and sooooo good!  Sometimes you just need a weekday dessert to fulfill your sweet tooth without making you feel guilty and here it is!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons coconut oil (as is… it doesn’t need to be melted)

1/2 cup honey

2 pinches of salt

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 

1 heaping tablespoon

Chia Seeds

(optional)

I have made these without using my stand mixer before and it can be done…. but it is for sure an arm workout.  Be prepared that this is a stiff mixture.  If you have a hand-mixer that would work as well.

*Mix the coconut oil and honey until well combined.

*Add salt and vanilla

*With the mixer running add the coconut.  Once mixed add the cocoa powder and chia seeds (if using)

*Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go

*Mix until everything is well combined. 

*Used a scoop or spoon to form tablespoon size rounds.  Roll with your hands to make them smooth.

*Place in the refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes.  I recommend storing these in the fridge as well.
