Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • In a sauce pan on medium low heat, melt together coconut oil, cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Make sure you are mixing often so that the ingredients do not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut.
  • Once the cashew butter mixture is all melted together and mixed well, pour it on top of the shredded coconut.
  • Use a rubber spatula to mix in the cashew butter mixture into the shredded coconut until all of the coconut is covered.
  • Place the bowl in the fridge and let it cool for 30 minutes. This also allows the cashew butter mixture to set.
  • Remove the bowl from the fridge. Using your hands, roll the coconut and cashew butter mixture into one inch balls. I usually flatten the bottom of each ball slightly too to make it easier to sit on the baking sheet after being dipped in chocolate.
  • Melt together the tablespoon of coconut oil and chocolate chips. Do this either on the stove in a sauce pan, or in the microwave for 30 second increments at a time, removing the bowl and mixing every 30 seconds until melted.
  • Dip each coconut cluster in the chocolate and place on the baking sheet.
  • Once all of the cluster have been dipped in the chocolate, use a spoon to drizzle the remaining chocolate over the clusters.
  • Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Notes

Store in a tupperware in the fridge for up to three weeks.  Make sure you keep it in the fridge, otherwise the coconut oil will cause them to melt.
