1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup honey, agave, maple syrup or blend
1/4 cup coconut oil (not melted)
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup shredded coconut + more to cover the outside

Mix almond butter, honey, coconut oil, cocoa and 1/2 cup shredded coconut in large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Drop spoonfuls into a plate of shredded coconut. Cover each spoonful in coconut and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in freezer for 30-45 minutes until firm. Serve and enjoy! Be sure to store these in the refrigerator to keep their shape.
