Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed.

Form the Bites: Take a spoonful of the coconut mixture and form it into a small ball. Flatten it slightly and press an almond into the center of each coconut ball. Repeat for all bites.

Chill: Place the coconut-almond balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt the Chocolate: While the bites chill, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Dip the Bites: Once the coconut bites are chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Return to the parchment paper and let the chocolate set.

Chill Again: Place the chocolate-coated coconut bites back in the fridge for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully hardened.

Enjoy! These bites are perfect for snacking, parties, or gifting!

Tips:

You can use milk, dark, or white chocolate depending on your preference.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
