 Chocolate Coconut Candy

  Filling...

• 1 cup dates
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 cups coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed

Coating...

• 150gr raw cacao butter
• 4 tbsp raw cacao powder
• 2 tbsp agave nectar

What to do...

1. Soak dates in water for 20 minutes to soften. In a food processor,add the dates and water and blend to make a smooth paste. Transfer in a bowl and mix with the rest of the filling ingredients. Knead with your hands until the dough sticks together. Add more coconut if necessary. With a tablespoon,take 1 tbsp of dough at a time and shape however you desire. Refrigerate the candy pieces while you melt the cacao butter in the dehydrator or using bain-marie method. Add the cacao powder and the agave and stir with the melted cacao butter until everything is incorporated.

2. Using a fork,dip one by one the coconut candy to coat with chocolate. Set aside on a waxed paper to set the chocolate. To do this faster you can refrigerate the candy bars.
