• 2 1/2 cups sifted organic powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons agave nectar
• 2 tablespoons rice milk
• 1 tablespoon melted refined coconut oil or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 cups (1 12-ounce bag) vegan gluten-free chocolate chips

1. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of the powdered sugar, the agave nectar, rice milk, coconut oil, salt, and vanilla and stir with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
3. Add the shredded coconut and stir until fully combined.
4. Dust a work surface with the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
5. Place the coconut mixture on the sugar and roll it around to coat it.
6. Transfer the mixture to one of the baking sheets and, using the palms of your hands, press down until the mixture is about 1 inch thick.
7. Chill in the freezer for 20 minutes.
8. Using a melon-baller, scoop the coconut mixture into your palm one scoop at a time.
9. Form the mixture into a small rectangle and arrange it on the second baking sheet.
10. Repeat until all the coconut mixture is used.
11. Return the coconut squares to the freezer for 20 minutes more.
12. Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt over low heat.
13. Using two forks or chopsticks, roll each coconut rectangle around in the chocolate to coat.
14. Put the mound back on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining coconut and chocolate.
