Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 24-36
What you need:
  • ½ cup organic natural peanut butter (no added ingredients, just peanuts) or nut butter of choice
  • ½ cup organic raw honey
  • ½ – 1 cup organic unsweetened coconut, finely shredded
  • ⅓ cup organic mini dark chocolate chips, soy-free (we like Enjoy Life! brand, allergen-free)
  • sucanat (unrefined sugar) for rolling the bites (other options: you can roll them in coconut, chocolate chips or cocoa powder)
What to do:
  1. In a medium size bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey until combined thoroughly.
  2. Add the chocolate chips. You can add more or less according to your taste (I always add the larger amount).
  3. Add the coconut in ¼ cup amounts until the consistency reaches a thick, yet semi-sticky state.
  4. You don’t want it so sticky that you can’t roll it, but you don’t want it so dry that it wont hold together. Find the happy medium.
  5. Once you are able to roll them and they still have some stickiness to them, roll into balls and then roll in the sucanat.
  6. Place on wax or parchment paper on a baking sheet or plate.
  7. Refrigerate for a while so they can harden up a bit, transfer to a glass jar and keep in the fridge.
