Made these today. Had to laugh. 6-8 bars is laughable. If you cut them into bars, they'd be itty bitty. It made 12 truffle size candy shapes - so 2 balls per serving, 6 servings. Regardless, they are pretty yummy!

    Love all the recipe and meal talk running through this group! Thanks for sharing this.

    OMG, I don't think I even want to THINK about these too much let alone make them! They look awesome and I would probably eat the whole batch!

    I've made them before. You are totally right about the servings. It makes a very small amount.

    Where do you all find unsweetened coconut? Everything I've seen has sugar added - a lot!

    Thanks for sharing, those look like a fantastic treat!

    I just found it next to the sweetened stuff at a discount grocery chain (Superstore, dunno if that's elsewhere in the world).

    I live in a very rural town - meaning the nearest health food store or super store is 100+ miles away. Amazon Prime is your friend. You can find anything there - and get free shipping to boot! :drinker:

    Another vote for Amazon! We use it all the time -- love our Prime membership.

    I got a really good deal on every type of unsweetened coconut when Tropical Traditions was running one of their free shipping coupons. If you haven't checked out their website... they have some pretty awesome stuff. If you sign up for them to email specials to you, then you should know when the next free shipping time is.

    Thanks, I'm an Amazon Prime member but try to support local brick and mortar stores when I can, but I'm not braving our crazy Whole Foods for one item!

    Made this afternoon as an Easter treat - stirred in some cocoa nibs and finely chopped soaked/dehydrated almonds before rolling into balls. Yum!! A bit sweet for me, though; next time I may try 1/8 cup maple syrup and 1/8 cup coconut milk for the liquid component. (yes, there will be a next time!)

    Well, now I simply have to make this AND dip them in Lindt extra dark chocolate! It's a good thing I sell it, because I have plenty of bars for all the cococrack bars I'll be devouring! Thanks for sharing :D

    OMG, these are AMAZING!! I love coconut so much so when I loved how this was an easy no-bake recipe. I didn't even use a food processor, just mixed by hand and it came out perfect. I made double because it seriously made nothing. Are these okay to eat as a late night snack? It's definitely tricking my mind into thinking I'm eating unhealthy sweets, especially since I put a thin layer of 70% dark chocolate over them. :p I had my family try some too, and had to hide the rest because they were eating all of them!
