Steps:
- 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
- 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
- 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
- 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
- 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8. a pinch of salt
- 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
- 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
- 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
- 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
- 13. Enjoy!

Steps:
- With an electric mixer cream together sugar & butter in a bowl. Add milk until well blended. Stir in almond extract, coconut & nuts (you may omit the nuts if you do not like them). Roll the candy filling into one inch balls and place on waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Using a double boiler melt chocolate until smooth (you may also melt chocolate in the microwave according to the directions on the chocolate). I like to add approximately 2 Tbls of butter or shortening in the chocolate but this is not necessary to do so. Dip the balls in chocolate and let stand at room temperature until set.
- Store in a tightly sealed container and preferable in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

ALMOND COCONUT ENERGY BALLS
These tasty little treats were inspired by Katie's post for lemon poppy seed no bake cookies that she shared on her blog just a couple of days ago: http://www.katiekdid.com/2012/03/27/lemon-poppy-seed-no-bake-cookies/ I made them my own adding in some chocolate and desiccated coconut in place of the poppy seeds and using a home-made almond butter in place of the coconut butter. Also I eliminated the lemon flavour due to my citrus allergy. I really like these as a not so indulgent treat that keeps me going and makes me happy. I hope you do, too!

Steps:
- In a big bowl combine both flours, salt, desiccated coconut and chocolate.
- Microwave your almond butter on high for 30 seconds to make it runny and then stir in vanilla.
- Add this to the flour mixture and knead into a dough adding tea as necessary. You should be able to form this with your hands easily like you would form cookies. Depending on your flours and almond butter you will need more or less liquid. Just make sure this does hold together well without being sticky.
- Roll into bite-sized balls and refrigerate until ready to use (I left mine over night).
- Enjoy!
