Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 18 -36 roasted almonds
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips (or the chocolate of your choice)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 36 tiny cupcake liners (about 1" in size)
Steps
-
Stir together the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla. It should be sticky and hold it's shape when pressed together.
-
Melt the chocolate (along with the optional coconut oil to thin it) in a glass bowl over a pan of water, or in the microwave at half power for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so.
-
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of chocolate into the bottom of each cup. Add 1 teaspoon of the coconut mixture. Press on the coconut slightly to make the chocolate slide up the sides of the liner.
-
Top the coconut with an almond and then pour a teaspoon of chocolate on top. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a couple of months. Enjoy!
