- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour a spoonful on top of each one and sprinkle over some extra desiccated coconut. Refrigerate again.
Notes
- I like to store these in the fridge so they stay nice and hard. They are also fine out of the fridge – they will just be a softer consistency.
- They will last for up to 7 days in the fridge.
- They can also be frozen and will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- If you prefer, you can use vegan white chocolate instead of dark.
- I use organic gluten-free oats for this recipe. Any oats will work though.
- You can toast your oats in the oven for 10 mins before using, but this is optional.
