- ½ cup Cocoa Powder (42g) Unsweetened

Instructions
- Place the almonds into the food processor and process until the almonds are finely chopped.
- Add the pine nuts, dessicated coconut and cocoa powder and process quickly to mix it all together.
- Then, while the processor is running, pour the maple syrup in and allow it to form into a thick sticky dough.
- Take two bowls and add dessicated coconut to one and cocoa powder to the other.
- Roll the sticky dough into balls and dip in either the dessicated coconut or the cocoa powder and place onto a parchment lined baking tray.

Notes

- You can use raw cacao powder instead of the cocoa powder if you prefer.
- Store them in either the freezer (doesn't freeze solid but becomes very hard and chewy) or the fridge (not as firm but still nicely chewy).
