As hard as I tried to get this recipe made and put up for Valentines day, I obviously failed. It all started when I found some awesome extremely dark and zero sugar added bakers chocolate in the bulk foods section. As hard as I tried to choke down these bitter chunks of supposed goodness I ended up creating a super easy recipe to use them up in a more delicious way.

Chocolate Balls with Coconut
as easy to make as they are to eat

4 oz dark unsweetened bakers chocolate
3 oz water
2-3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup coconut flakes

Slowly melt the chocolate into the water in a small saucepan over med-low heat, watching and stirring constantly. The chocolate will probably seem like it's melting all nice, then turn quickly to an angry looking clump of chunky mess. DON'T WORRY! Remove from heat and add honey and vanilla. The honey soothes the chocolate and returns into into a better consistency. If it's too soft to work with you hands, let it cool slightly until you are able to form into small balls by rolling in your palms. Next, dump the coconut flakes on a plate and roll those little balls around to cover with the coconut goodness. Place on a separate plate (or container) and store in the fridge until you devour them all (it only took us a couple hours)

I managed to save a few for a picture

*note* You can add other things into your melted chocolate mixture to make it your our. You could even roll it in other things! Why not try adding the coconut in the chocolate and rolling in crushed nuts?! Or added dried cranberries or cherries and rolling in cocoa powder?!
