Friends. With the risk of sounding inappropriate, these chocolate coconut balls are ah-mazing.

Get your mind outta the gutter.

I’m talking about chocolate peanut butter granola bites rolled in coconut flakes

Sounds delicious, right?!

I mentioned in last week’s post about those no-bake bars being my go-to base and trying different variations from there.

Well, here is variation #1 and if I may be so bold, it’s probably my favorite in the history of ever.

In the past, I’ve mixed the coconut in together with everything else. But this time, I switched it up a bit and decided to roll the balls in the coconut flakes. I was inspired by one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes and it panned out pretty well.

These babies are no-bake but before you roll them, I’d recommend putting them in the fridge for an hour or two. They’re easier to roll when they aren’t super hot or as sticky.

The key to a good bite-roll is to get your fingers wet first – it helps de-stick and makes it easier to roll.

I really hope you enjoy these as much as I did – I think they lasted about four days… okay, three days. But who’s counting?! 🙂
