When I was a kid, I LOVED bounty bars. You know the ones…the sweet coconut bars drenched in sweet milk chocolate? Honestly, coconut and chocolate together has to be one of my all time favourite flavour combos. Those good ol’ Bounty Bars pack a whopping 14g of refined sugar per piece though….which is a lot for your body to handle all at once!

I wanted to try and recreate that delicious coconut & chocolate combination I loved from my childhood, but adapt it into a version that would also help support my blood sugar. These Coconut Snow Balls seriously hit the nail on the head! They are subtly sweet, have a rich coconut flavour and texture, with a nice finish of dark chocolate. Not only that, they contain a good amount of healthy fats and fiber to help support your blood sugar!

If you don’t want to take my word at how delicious these are, you can ask my husband….I can’t seem to keep him away from them!

The balls are a bit crumbly when you roll them, but once in the fridge they harden up nicely, giving them a delicious texture! These treats are best served right out of the fridge.
