Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst until smooth and fully melted. Avoid overheating—gently melted chocolate gives the cleanest, silkiest coating.
Dip the Bites
- Once the coconut bites are firm, dip each one fully into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess chocolate drip off before returning the coated bite to the parchment paper. Work efficiently so the chocolate remains fluid throughout the process.
Chill Again
- Refrigerate the dipped bites for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely hardened. This final chill ensures a crisp chocolate shell surrounding the soft coconut center.
Enjoy
Serve the Almond Joy Coconut Bites chilled or at room temperature. They make a delightful treat for parties, lunchbox snacks, or handmade gifts.
Tips
- Use milk, dark, or white chocolate depending on your flavor preference.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For extra shine, let the chocolate sit for a minute after melting to reduce bubbles before dipping.
