Author Notes
These sweet treats are a mix between a no bake cookie and a truffle. They are wicked. They are also incredibly simple and you probably already have the ingredients on hand. I kind of just threw some stuff in a pot & it ended up being a new favorite. —we eat. happy.

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or 4oz dark chocolate, chopped
-
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (I used chunky, but smooth would be fine too)
-
1/3 cup maple syrup
-
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
-
a pinch of sea salt (if your peanut butter is not salted)
-
1 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut (desiccated), + more rolling, but this is optional
Directions
-
In a medium sized pot, over medium low heat, melt chocolate, pb, syrup, cocoa, vanilla & sea salt. Once the everything is melted and combined (about 3-4 minutes), take off the heat & stir in the coconut.
-
It will be a bit thick. Let it cool for a minute. Then, using your hands form TBL sized balls. If you want, you can roll in extra coconut. I like it either way, Jediah prefers it without...so you decide.
-
Cool in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Keep stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
