2.75 cups finely shredded coconut, divided into 1.75 cups, .75 cups, and .25 cups

2 teaspoons melted extra virgin coconut oil

3 tablespoons raw honey

2 tablespoons orange juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (AIP reintro)

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Method (Applies to both!)

1.  Add 1.75 cuips finely shredded coconut and process in a food processor until a thick paste forms. This will take approximately 2 minutes. You want to keep a bit of texture to the paste.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and process for another 30 seconds or until combined. Next, add the remaining .75 cups of finely shredded to the coconut and pulse 2-3 for approximately five seconds until well combined.

3. Using a cookie scoop (or your hands) make small balls with the dough. This should yield about eight bliss balls. Next, roll the balls in the remaining .25 cup of finely shredded coconut. refrigerate until firm, about 30-60 minutes) and then devour!
