NO-BAKE DARK CHOCOLATE COCONUT BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix it together with a spatula or with your hands. I found it easy to rub the ingredients in between my fingers to make sure that the coconut was covered evenly.
• Get a baking sheet to place your coconut balls on. Line with wax paper or foil to make clean-up easier. Using your hands, gather a small amount (ping-pong sized) and squeeze hard to form the coconut balls. I ended up with 18 balls.
• Place the coconut balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until firm.
• Double-broiling method. Using a pot, fill the pot with 1-2 inches of water. Heat until broiling. Place a metal bowl on top of the pot and add the chocolate. As the chocolate melts, stir the chocolate to help with the melting process. Carefully remove the bowl of melted chocolate off the pot as it will be hot.
• Using a large (soup) spoon place a coconut ball in the chocolate until the ball is completely coated with chocolate. Remove the ball from the chocolate and place on a lined baking sheet.
• Place in the freezer for 10 minutes until the chocolate is hardened. Take out the freezer and enjoy!

DARK CHOCOLATE COCONUT BALLS

Steps:

• Mix coconut, condensed milk, powdered sugar and/or chopped nuts (optional) in a medium to large glass bowl (if you have a glass bowl, if not a metal or plastic one will do). Beat/mix by hand, using a very heavy duty spoon, mix very well. Put in freezer (until you get the chocolate and wax mixture done).
• Take semi-sweet chocolate chips and add part of the paraffin wax in a double boiler (if you don't have a double boiler, take a small pot and place it inside a pot just a little bigger add a few inches of water in the big pot, depending on the sizes of your pots your using. Melt chocolate and the wax on med heat until it melts then turn to low heat, add water to bottom pot as needed but make sure you don't put too much water or get any water in the chocolate mixture. Keep adding wax to the melted chocolate until you can hold a small bit under cold water and it stays semi hard to hard. (Use a small metal spoon to test the chocolate.)
• Now take your coconut mix out of the freezer and butter your hands lightly and start making balls, work kind of fast, use a toothpick to dip each ball in the chocolate. Then put them on wax paper (use cookie sheets to place wax paper on). Set the cookie sheet full in refrigerator or freezer for about 1 hour or until chocolate has hardened. If your coconut mixture becomes soft and starts sticking to your hands (if you have any left from the first batch) replace in freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes, then start all over with the making of balls and dipping and refrigerate.
• Now, once you have all of them hardened, take them off waxed paper and put the candies in an airtight bowl and refrigerate them or a freezer Ziploc bag because you can also freeze them. You can eat them right out of the freezer bag. Doesn't require thawing at all.

DARK CHOCOLATE COCONUT BITES

Steps:

• Pulse the coconut in a blender or food processor until the texture becomes like thick flour. Transfer to a bowl and add the honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until a thick paste forms.
• Using your hands, squeeze the mixture into about 18 small balls. I found that rolling was difficult because they weren't sticky enough, but I was able to shape them into balls by first squeezing them in my palm a few times (you'll get some oil on your hands), and then gently shaping it from an oval into a round ball. Place the coconut balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm. I could tell that mine were ready because there was a small white ring of solidified coconut oil around the base of each ball.
• Melt the chocolate slowly and gently until smooth and spreadable. We don't have a microwave, so I had the best results melting this in a stainless steel bowl placed in a hot oven for about 10 minutes.
• Lay out a sheet of wax paper. Using two forks, roll each coconut ball in the chocolate until completely covered. Scoop the ball out with the fork and let the extra chocolate drip off the fork. Gently nudge the chocolate covered ball onto wax paper and chill until the chocolate has hardened. Store in the refrigerator.
