The recipe for these little balls of goodness come from my friend Karen. If you are a fan of nuts, coconut and chocolate you will LOVE these! They are a fun and healthy alternative to a cookie. I love that they are sweetened naturally with agave and honey and that they use coconut oil which has so many health benefits. And best of all these are really tasty–I promise:) Enjoy!

Natalie & Melissa,
I use semi sweet chocolate chips–because that is what I keep on hand–but I would think any chocolate would be great!

I will have to count the next time I make them–but I would guess around 2 1/2 – 3 dozen!

These sound like something Griff would like. And I lvoe that you don't have to bake them… it has been hot around here today and so turning the oven on sounds terrible. 🙂
