Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Coconut Chocolate “Candies”

Are you craving something chocolate? That doesn't mean you have to break out the sugar to satisfy your sweet tooth.

You can create naturally sweetened chocolate treats with just 3 common ingredients that you may already have on hand.

This recipe is also grain free and dairy free!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raisins (buy here)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, preferably unsweetened (buy here)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (buy here)

What You'll Need

  • A food processor (I use this one)
  • A silicone mold (buy here)
  • A silicone spatula (buy here)

1. Process Ingredients

Start by putting the shredded coconut into the food processor, followed by the raisins and cocoa. Pulse for 1-2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the food processor with a spatula. Repeat until all of the ingredients are sticky and well-combined.

You may double or triple this recipe to make more than one batch. Unless you have a large food processor, only process one batch at a time.

 2. Press Into Molds

Once the ingredients are well incorporated, press the mixture into small silicone molds. Press some of the shredded coconut into the top of each “candy” as a garnish.

Place the molds into the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the candies are firm.

Store them in a bag or container in the fridge.

 3. Print

Here's an easily printable recipe. Keep it in your kitchen for easy access the next time you are in the mood for a chocolate fix!
