Chocolate coconut macaroons




This is not to be confused with the light and airy French version.  This recipe was inspired by a delicious snack that I recently had.  If you don't like coconut flakes, don't try this recipe.  If you like desserts that aren't too sweet, love coconuts like I do, and aren't allergic to nuts you'll really enjoy this treat!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons almond butter (smooth or crunchy- it's up to you)
2 tablespoons agave sweetener
2 tablespoons of very hot water
1 tablespoon of special dark cocoa (DO NOT use instant hot cocoa mix- it's too sweet)
1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut

1 large bowl and disposable food safe gloves

In the large bowl, mix the almond butter, agave, cocoa, and hot water.  Once it reaches the consistency in the picture number 2 add the coconut.  Mix well and form into teaspoon sized bites.  Enjoy!
Don't forget to store these in the fridge. :)
