Chocolate Bliss Balls

This recipe pictured on the right is from FMTV.  Makes 24 balls.

Ingredients:
(use organic ingredients where possible)

• ​1 cup raw cacao powder (* I got mine at Thrifty's at Terminal Park but it's expensive.)
• 2/3 cup coconut flour
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
  
• 3 tbsp. maple syrup
  
• 1/2 cup peanut butter

To Coat:

• ​2 tbsp. desiccated coconut
• 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder
  
• 2 tbsp. roasted organic peanuts (crushed)
  
• Note:  I did all mine in coconut to simplify things.

Method:

1. ​Melt coconut oil, maple syrup and peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
2. Stir in cacao powder and then gradually add in coconut flour until you reach the desired consistency.
   
3. Roll into 1 tbsp. balls and roll a third of the balls in each coconut, cacao and crushed peanuts.
   
4. Let set in the refrigerator for about 1/2 an hour.
