Make the coconut filling<br \/>\nAdd the desiccated coconut, Greek yogurt and honey to a bowl. Mix thoroughly until you have a thick, sticky mixture that holds together when pressed.<\/p>\n<p>2. Shape the balls<br \/>\nTake small portions and firmly roll them between your hands into bite-sized balls. You should get around 8 balls, depending on their size.<\/p>\n<p>3. Freeze \u2744\ufe0f<br \/>\nPlace the balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray and freeze for 1 hour. This makes them firm enough to coat easily.<\/p>\n<p>4. Melt the chocolate \ud83c\udf6b<br \/>\nMelt the dark chocolate chips gently in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each interval, or use a double boiler. Add a tiny amount of coconut oil if you want a thinner, smoother coating.<\/p>\n<p>5. Coat the balls<br \/>\nUsing two spoons or a fork, roll each frozen coconut ball through the melted chocolate until completely covered. Let the excess chocolate drip off.<\/p>\n<p>6. Chill<br \/>\nPlace them back onto the lined tray and refrigerate for at least 10\u201315 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.<\/p>\n<p>7. Finish \u2728<br \/>\nFor a beautiful presentation, drizzle a little extra chocolate over the top and sprinkle with a tiny amount of coconut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are soft, creamy coconut bites covered in a rich dark-chocolate shell \u2014 basically a homemade, lighter take on a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1404"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1406,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404\/revisions\/1406"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fofig.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
