Healthy Choco Almond Bites (no bake)

I love candy, which is a problem when you're allergic to corn.  Corn syrup or starch is in almost anything related to candy, not to mention all the sugar and empty calories.  I just try to avoid it but not always successfully.  

These candies satisfy my craving and I don't even feel guilty eating them.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Healthy Choco Almond Bites (no bake)

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup almond butter
2 T maple syrup
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1 cup almond flour
1/4 t vanilla

Mix ingredients in a mixing bowl until creamed together.  Refrigerate 1 hour.

Melt:
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips or bar (your choice of % cocoa, in this recipe I used
         semi sweet chocolate chips)                             
2 T coconut oil

Scoop into 1/2 inch balls the almond mixture and roll in chocolate mixture until coated.  Place on parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with kosher salt if desired and refrigerate until hardened.

Enjoy!
