Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup pitted dates, softened if necessary

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: If your dates are rather firm, place them in a bowl of warm water and let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften. After soaking, drain the water and set the dates aside.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.

      Blend Wet Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the softened dates, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

        Mix Everything Together: Transfer the creamy date mixture to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously until everything is fully combined. It might be easier to use your hands to knead the mixture into a cohesive dough.

          Form the Bliss Balls: Take a small amount of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon per ball) and roll it into a ball shape, approximately 1 inch in diameter. If you’d like, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to create a delectable coating.

            Chill the Balls: Place the formed coconut balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up nicely.

              Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you opt for the dark chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and liquid. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled bliss balls.

                Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, serve the bliss balls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week for a satisfying sweet treat.
