Chocolate-Coconut Bites Recipe

These decadent chocolate bites are completely dairy-free but still smooth and creamy thanks to all the coconut oil, and they're easy to tweak exactly to your tastes.

They'd be the perfect low-carb Halloween treat: with just 2 tablespoons of sweetener for the whole batch, the calories in this recipe come out to 79% fat, 18% carbs, and 3% protein.

And most of that fat is coming from coconut oil, which is a very ketogenic fat if you’re interested in ketosis as a dietary goal.

You can use your favorite shape of candy mold to make these, and you can add in whatever goodies you like – berries, nuts, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, dried fruit, or whatever you can think of.

The one thing to be aware of is that they don’t last very long out of the freezer: if you leave them out to get warm, they’ll quickly melt again, and you’ll end up with chocolate puddles.

If you want more of this recipe, just double the amount of everything and go to town. Kids will love them, and especially if you’re strictly dairy-free, they’re a great way to enjoy chocolate on Paleo without any potential dairy issues.
