Method
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper
- Combine coconut butter and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth and then stir in shredded coconut and sweetener until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 20 portions (see note below). Use your hands to shape patties. Put the pan in your freezer for 30 - 60 minutes.
- CHOCOLATE COATING: Combine cocoa butter and unsweetened chocolate together in a small pot set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted.
- Stir in the sweetener blend until melted. Then stir in cocoa powder, until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in coconut extract.
- Using skinny tongs (or a fork on the bottom) dip the coconut mounds into the chocolate. Hold over the chocolate pot to let excess chocolate drip off.
- Put the dipped chocolates back into the freezer for 15 mintues to harden the chocolate.
- Candies can be stored in a tin or plastic storage container, at room temperatuare, for about a week. Will they last that long? Probably not!

Notes
Coconut Extract: I like the additional kick the extract gives to the candies ... but you will still be very happy if you choose not to use it.
