Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, if preferred)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional for enhanced flavor)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. If you’re opting for almond extract to boost nuttiness, add that in as well.

    Use a sturdy spatula or spoon to stir the ingredients thoroughly, mixing until everything is fully incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Make sure there are no dry patches, as a consistent mixture is key.

      If you'd like to include chocolate, gently fold the mini dark chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed for a delightful chocolate surprise in each bite.

        Prepare your hands for rolling! Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process for the remaining dough until all are shaped into bite-sized bliss balls.

          Roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut, coating them evenly for an enticing finish and an extra hint of coconut flavor.

            Arrange the coconut-covered bliss balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This not only allows the flavors to meld but also helps the balls firm up.

              Once chilled and set, these Sweet Coconut Almond Bliss Balls are ready to be enjoyed! They make for a perfect healthy snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness, where they will keep for up to one week.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes (including chilling) | Servings: Approximately 12-15 bliss balls

                  Presentation Tips: Serve these bliss balls on a decorative platter, perhaps garnished with a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut or some sliced almonds for added visual appeal!
