Introduction
My husband loves the coconut filling in candy bars like Mounds and Almond Joy. I had made some candies like that at Christmas and got to thinking that maybe I could come up with a low carb version that I could have. When I handed the first one to my husband, his response was "These taste like cheating!" My husband loves the coconut filling in candy bars like Mounds and Almond Joy.

Ingredients

Tastes Like Cheating Coconut & Chocolate Fat Bombs
1 1/3 cups Bob's Red Mill Unsweetened Macaroon Coconut (this is super fine flakes)
1 cup Torani Sugar Free French Vanilla Syrup
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
2 oz. Scharffen Berger 70% Bittersweet Chocolate Bar
Tips
These are great right out of the fridge but, if I plan ahead, I like to let them sit out and come close to room temp. They are creamier and even more decadent that way!
Directions
In a medium size bowl, microwave the syrup to a simmer. Stir in the coconut until well blended. Allow it to soak up the syrup for 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Mix in the coconut oil. Press mixture into a silicone mold, distributing it evenly into each cavity. Place the mold into the freezer for about an hour, then pop the balls out. Melt the chocolate, being careful not to overheat it. Once fully melted, it should be thin enough for dipping. If you need it thinner, do not add water or any other liquid! It will cause your chocolate to clump up! You can add a tiny bit of butter or coconut oil to thin if needed. While the balls are frozen, dip just the bottom of each into the chocolate and place them upside down to allow the chocolate to set up. Once all of the balls have been dipped and are set, turn them over and cluster them together. Use any remaining chocolate to drizzle over the tops, then keep refrigerated in an airtight container. Enjoy!
If you don't have silicone molds, you should be able to use a cake or cookie pan lined with wax or parchment paper so you can lift out the coconut mixture. Just press the mixture in, then either spread the chocolate evenly, or drizzle it for a pretty effect. Refrigerate until set. Remove from the fridge and allow it to warm enough that you can cut it without causing it to break. Keep in the fridge.
Serving Size: makes 30 - 1/2 oz. treats
