½ cup coconut oil, melted (you may need more depending on coconut)
4 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
macadamia nuts
1½ cups of bittersweet chocolate (for Paleo, use unsweetened chocolate and add honey to reach desired sweetness)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
In your food processor, process the dried coconut, coconut oil and agave nectar until a paste is formed.
Use more coconut oil if necessary.
Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper.
Spread the coconut mixture over the parchment paper.
Press the macadamia nuts into the coconut mixture.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to harden the mixture.
Once the mixture has hardened, remove it from the pan gently.
Cut into desired shapes.
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil, you can use the microwave or double boiler method.
Dip the coconut pieces in the chocolate mixture and place on silpat or parchment to harden.
