Notes

When making the truffles, be sure to shape them into small balls so that they don’t become too big after coating them in chocolate and coconut flakes. If you find the mixture is too soft to shape into balls, you can add more coconut flakes or refrigerate the mixture for a few minutes before shaping into balls. You can also substitute dark chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips if desired.
