Steps:
- 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
- 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
- 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
- 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
- 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8. a pinch of salt
- 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
- 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
- 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
- 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
- 13. Enjoy!
