- Mix everything together until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture becomes sticky and well-combined.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls or press it into a parchment-lined dish to form bars.
- Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate on top or roll each ball in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or extra coconut.
