Posted on May 12, 2014
These blissful bonbons consist of chilled Paleo <a href="http://www.craftfoxes.com/how_tos/cookie-dough-crispy-treats">cookie dough</a> coated in chocolate. Because no eggs are used in the recipe, the dough is safe to eat raw. Dig in without guilt! Serves: 4–8 Prep time: 15 minutes (plus at least an hour to chill) Cook time: 5 minutes **Ingredients**: 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour 3 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil 1 cup mini dark chocolate chips* Parchment paper 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate 1/4 teaspoon sea salt * Most chocolate contains soy lecithin as well as dairy.

Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, honey, vanilla extract and coconut oil. When the ingredients are fully combined, stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 2
Line a dish with parchment paper, and roll the cookie dough mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the dish, and cover them with plastic wrap. Freeze the balls for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Step 3
Chop the baking chocolate, and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it for 20 seconds, stir, and microwave it for another 10 seconds or until the chocolate is completely melted.
Step 4
Roll the frozen cookie dough balls in the melted chocolate until coated. Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment paper, and refrigerate them for 15 minutes before serving.
