Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
• ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened (or dairy-free alternative)
• ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dairy-free)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
• Optional: cocoa powder or crushed nuts for rolling


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham crumbs, coconut, and nuts. Stir in cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla until well blended.
  2. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls using slightly damp hands. Place on a tray and chill 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. Dip each ball into melted chocolate, coating completely. Tap off excess.
  5. Place back on the tray and sprinkle with a pinch of coconut or crushed nuts if desired.
  6. Chill 15–20 minutes until set.
