Be warned: these are moreish.
They're a fabulous substitute if you've given up sugar and dairy (that's me), but it's iso and you still want to treat yourself. These are soft inside, crunchy on the outside and seriously satisfy cravings. They're SO easy to make. You'll be wondering how you didn't discover them sooner.

3 cups almond meal
1/2 teaspoon flaked sea salt
85gm (1/3 cup) raw honey (or sub rice malt syrup)
85 gm coconut oil or macadamia oil
1/4 cup desiccated coconut (add an extra tbsp if you like coconut)
1 tsp vanilla bean extract
2-4 tbsp water to mix
flaked coconut to garnish
METHOD:
1. Preheat your oven to 130 degrees.
