Filling: 4 cups grated, unsweetened coconut ½ cup softened or melted coconut oil (Trader Joe’s sells 16oz organic for $5.99) 2-4 tablespoons coconut nectar (I liked this best, however you could use real maple syrup, honey, or agave) Roasted whole or slivered almonds (optional) Coating: 1½ cups dark chocolate pieces (OR you can sweeten your own baking chocolate squares-the ones with no sugar. I did a mixture of 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate/¼ cup coconut nectar/40 drops vanilla creme stevia. Another great option is ½ cup food grade cocoa butter mixed with ½ cup cocoa powder and sweetener to taste. I use about 2-3 tablespoons worth. I always add a dash of salt too.) 1 tablespoon coconut oil
