Ingredients

  • 4 ounces chocolate 100% cacao
  • 3 ounces chocolate 56% cacao
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 30 mini baking paper liners

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper.
  • Chop the chocolate bars as finely as possible. This helps the chocolate melt quickly and evenly.
  • Put into a heat proof bowl.
  • In a small pot, over medium low heat, warm the heavy cream and honey.
  • Pour the mixture gradually over the chocolate and combine rapidly with a whisk.
  • Add the butter and stir to combine.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache into the parchment lined pan and leave to cool at room temperature.
  • After the concoction has cooled, refrigerate for about an hour.
  • Once set, use a melon baller to scoop out the chocolate and form into small balls.
  • Roll the balls in the coconut and put into paper liners.
  • These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • To keep it paleo, look for chocolate chips with coconut sugar like HU
