Instructions
Combine first 6 ingredients in the food processor. Process until well blended and thick and chewy like caramel.
Remove from food processor and place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 hours until cool and firm.
Fill a small bowl with shredded coconut for dipping caramel.
Put remaining coconut oil, cocoa powder and maple syrup in a small saucepan.
Heat over low heat constantly stirring until oil is melted and ingredients are well combined.
Remove from heat and place in a small bowl for dipping.
Scoop caramel, one teaspoon at a time and roll in palms to form a small ball.
Roll in coconut and press lightly to get the coconut to stick. Use a toothpick to pick up the caramel and dip into chocolate, coating entire ball.
After coating, place each ball on a tray covered in parchment paper and sprinkle a small amount of coconut on top.
Once all caramel is used, place tray in refrigerator for several hours to chill and for chocolate to harden.
Store in refrigerator in a covered container for up to two weeks.
