Dark Chocolate-covered Dehydrated Coconut Bites

Indulge in the exquisite taste of Dark Chocolate-Covered Dehydrated Coconut Bites, a delightful treat reminiscent of Mounds candy bars. These bite-sized morsels are a perfect combination of rich dark chocolate and sweet coconut.

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces (2 cups) of dark chocolate chunks or chips, melted
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil
• 4 cups unsweetened, dehydrated coconut slices or chips

Optional Toppings:

• Slivered or crushed almonds
• Shredded candied coconut
• Sea salt

Instructions:

Begin by lining a baking tray with parchment paper or waxed paper.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and canola oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Dip the dehydrated coconut pieces into the melted chocolate using a fork, then place them on the prepared baking tray.

Repeat the process until all the coconut is coated in chocolate.

Allow the chocolate to dry and harden completely.

Once hardened, remove the chocolate-covered coconut from the paper and store it in an airtight container.
