Dark Chocolate & Coconut Bites

• 1/2 cup good quality semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (I used chunky, but smooth would be fine too)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons dark 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, + more rolling, but this is optiona

1. In a medium sized pot, over medium low heat, melt chocolate, pb, syrup, cocoa, vanilla & sea salt.
2. 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.
3. Let it cool for a minute.
4. Then, using your hands form TBL sized balls. If you want, you can roll in extra coconut. Cool in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Keep stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
