Chocolaté dû Coconut Joy (Raw- Vegan)

My son came up with this name, but this is not a complicated French chocolate recipe as you might think :-). These are just simple coconut balls covered with chocolate, inspired of course from Bounty chocolates. They have only simple organic ingredients: dried organic coconut, organic raw honey, organic cocoa powder, organic agave nectar and organic virgin coconut oil.


For coconut balls:
Dried shredded coconut - 2 cups 
Raw wildflower honey - 4 Tbs.

Powder half the coconut. Mix the with the other half of coconut and honey and shape into small balls. This makes about 18 -20 balls. 

For Chocolate coating:
Cocoa powder - 4 Tbs.
Virgin Coconut oil - 4 Tbs.
Agave nectar - 4 Tbs.

Melt coconut oil keeping in a bowl on top of warm water. Mix with agave nectar, add cocoa powder without any lumps. 
Dip each ball into the chocolate and arrange on a parchment paper. Keep refrigerated for 30 minutes to harden the chocolate.
