The recipe for these little balls of goodness come from my friend Karen. If you are a fan of nuts, coconut and chocolate you will LOVE these! They are a fun and healthy alternative to a cookie. I love that they are sweetened naturally with agave and honey and that they use coconut oil which has so many health benefits. And best of all these are really tasty–I promise:) Enjoy!

Great pics, look scrumptious
those sound great! thanks for posting.
These sound like something Griff would like. And I lvoe that you don't have to bake them… it has been hot around here today and so turning the oven on sounds terrible. :)
These look really good and pretty easy. Sure wish I had some right now.
Those look so good!

These look great but the name sounds like a cereal flavor :0)
those sound great! I love that there's no baking involved because it's still really hot here.
These look yummy… about how many does the recipe yield?
What kind of chocolate do you use? These look amazing!
I was going to ask the same thing – what kind of chocolate is best to use?
Natalie & Melissa,
I use semi sweet chocolate chips–because that is what I keep on hand–but I would think any chocolate would be great!
Anonymous,
I will have to count the next time I make them–but I would guess around 2 1/2 – 3 dozen!
these are so yummy – I love them! thanks for the recipe sis. It feels great to have a "healthy" treat recipe!
I've made these twice this week…we love them. Thanks for this recipe.
I just made these and they didn't hold their shape in a ball. They fell apart. Still delicious though! Any suggestions?
