Almond Coconut Chocolate Drops

JT  36 Comments

Did you know that the majority of the chocolate chips you buy in stores add soy to their chips?

Not only are Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips soy free, but they are also gluten free, and dairy free! Which is hard to come by with chocolate chips! Knowing this, it’s easy to see how they have quickly become a family favorite!

I can enjoy my guilty food pleasure guilt free, can you?

Click To Tweet

One of my guilty Paleo pleasures is to eat a spoonful of almond butter and then follow it up with a handful of chocolate chips! I can’t be alone in this!! Knowing there had to be others who loved this combo too, I decided to do something about it.

The result… Almond, coconut, and chocolate goodness!

I went ahead and added some unsweetened coconut flakes to the almond butter. This worked as a flavor enhancement, plus it made the almond butter easier to mold! Simply finished off the combination with some melted chocolate and we had a miracle occur in the kitchen!

This will not be the last time we make these! I hope you enjoy!

  • 1 cup Almond Butter

  • 1/8 teaspoon ghee
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Enjoy Life Vegan Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • First melt your ghee in a mixing bowl in the microwave

  • Once mixed, line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and roll the mixture into little balls, between 1/2 inch or 1 inch
  • Place on the sheet and put in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to let the almond butter set
  • In a sauce pan over low heat or a double broiler, melt your chocolate chips

  • Once all is dipped and back on your baking sheet, place back in the refrigerator for about an hour so everything solidifies. Remove and enjoy

    OMG where have you been all my life?! :) I need a little something sweet (chocolate) every night – it’s a habit since childhood I refuse to break – and I’ve been struggling with how to do it right since becoming Paleo-ish. These are the answer! Almond butter, chocolate and coconut?! Heaven. I used the freezer instead of the fridge to speed things up and firm up jarred almond butter and they were fantastic. I have to make 1/2 the recipe at a time so I don’t eat too many. Thank you thank you!

    Would it work to use coconut oil instead of the ghee?

    These are delicious! I had the same problem with my almond butter being too runny. Finally after refrigerating more than 24 hours and adddibg more coconut, I was able to get a small disc shape. I popped them in the freezer for several minutes which allowed me to dip them in the chocolate and throw that in the freezer! Next I’ll try a different almond butter. Definitely satisfies the craving!

    is 1/8 teaspoon ghee the correct measurement? It hardly seems necessary, such a small amount? Thanks

    So good! We added a touch off peanut butter, some coconut flour, eggs and extra butter and baked them. Turned out really good!

    Thanks for this idea. I make my own chocolate, and usually put a piece of apricot or a blueberry in the chocolate moulds, for a different taste. Now I’m thinking I could put a bit of almond butter in my moulds for a soft centre! I’ll have to start experimenting.

    How excited was I that ENJOY LIFE chocolate chips were on sale at my SPROUTS???? I ran home and this recipe is chilling in my refrigerator RIGHT NOW. I plan to eat all 6 I’m making because a) no one else likes coconut in my house and b) I ran a half marathon yesterday, I deserve a treat.

    George,

    I made my own almond butter at the store yesterday, and I have to say 1. freshly ground almond butter is freakin' amazing! lol And 2. it really did make a tremendous difference in the consistency of these awesome drops… I'm very happy with them. =) Again, thank you!

    So I've made this three times… each batch is AMAZINGLY delicious, but they look nothing like your pictures – they completely flatten out into thin discs, and dipping them is a no-go. (I just drop small spoonfuls of the chocolate onto the paper, then a spoonful of the mixture onto the chocolate.) I tried adding a bit of almond flour the second time, and more coconut the third time, but neither seemed to give the consistency it appears you've achieved. I'm wondering if it has to do with the type of almond butter? What do you use?

    Regardless of their shape, I love them!!! =) Thank you for sharing…

        I make my own almond butter so it stays a little thicker and keep it refrigerated.

      I use “Roasted” Almond Butter and NOT “Raw” Almond Butter when making these types of treats. The Roasted AB is much thicker than the Raw AB.
