Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, chopped walnuts, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until well-combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to compact the mixture firmly to ensure the balls hold their shape.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. This will create a delicious chocolate coating for the balls.
-
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it is completely coated. Use a fork to lift the balls out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, and return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
-
Once the chocolate has set, remove the balls from the refrigerator and transfer them to a serving plate. These Chocolate Coconut Balls are now ready to be enjoyed!
