Ingredients
- 2 heaping cups dried apricots
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Dash of sea salt
Optional:
- 1 ounce dark chocolate
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a food process and let it mix for 3-5 minutes or until mixture starts to stick to itself.
- Use your hands to roll dough into 1" round balls and arrange on a baking sheet. I was able to make about 10 bites with my dough. Chill for 15 minutes to let them set and then enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- For fun, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave. Stir well to combine and use a toothpick to roll 1/2 of the balls in chocolate. Transfer to baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 10 minutes or until chocolate has become firm.
