Orange Dark Chocolate & Coconut Bites

Ingredients

2 cups quality dark chocolate, bar or chips

1 teaspoon orange extract [or almond extract]

1 cup almonds, toasted and then chopped

1 cup shredded [sweetened or unsweetened] coconut, toasted

Directions

Using a double broiler, melt the chocolate. Once it’s all melted, add the orange extract.

Make sure almonds and coconut are completely cool before you stir into the melted chocolate.I used silicon baking cups, but you can use either a cupcake pan [sprayed with non-stick] or drop directly onto parchment paper – lined baking sheet.

With an ice cream scooper or spoon, drop chocolate mixture into the cups or onto parchment paper.

Place baking pan/sheet in the refrigerated for about 2 hours, allowing them to harden.

Once they were hardened, I placed them in a container and placed them back in the fridge. I prefer my chocolate pieces cold.

Enjoy!
