Almond Joy Coconut Bites

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

1. While the bites chill, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring each time to prevent burning.
2. Add coconut oil or butter if desired for a smoother, glossier finish.

Step 4: Coat the Coconut Bites

1. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each coconut-almond bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
2. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the bite to the parchment-lined tray.

Step 5: Chill and Set

1. Place the chocolate-coated bites back in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
2. Once set, store the bites in an airtight container. They can stay fresh for up to 1 week in the fridge or 2–3 weeks in the freezer.

Tips for Perfect Almond Joy Bites

• Use sweetened shredded coconut for a chewy, classic texture. Unsweetened coconut can be used, but you may need extra condensed milk.
• Room temperature chocolate melts more evenly, so avoid using chocolate straight from the fridge.
• Double-dip if you want extra chocolatey bites.
• For a fancier touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
