The Recipe

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Coconut Macaroon Bites 

Makes 10-12 bites/balls

Ingredients 

1.5 cups of coconut flakes

3 Tbs of Rawmio Almond Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Spread - gently melted

1/2 cup raw almonds

1 Tbs raw honey

1 Tbs coconut oil - gently melted

1.5 tsp chia seeds

3 Tbs raw cacao nibs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

1. Gently melt your coconut oil if not already in a liquid state. 

2. Do the same with your Rawmio Almond Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Spread  - make sure it's gently melted and in a creamy/gooey state. This butter is handcrafted in small batches and will naturally solidify under cooler temperatures. 

3. Combine all ingredients except cacao nibs in a food processor or blender and mix until things stick together. Test the texture out by taking a small amount and squishing it between your fingers - the mixture should stick without crumbling too much. 

4. Pour mixture into a bowl, stir in cacao nibs, and shape into balls. Can be store in refrigerator for several weeks.
