Hi, I’m Saly. I’m a wife, a home cook, and someone who learned that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. My husband’s the kind of man who picks up on the pinch of cinnamon in a cookie and still licks the spoon when I’m making fudge. When I served him these little fudge balls with a cheeky name, he raised an eyebrow… then asked for more before swallowing the first. That’s when I knew this would be a regular in our kitchen.
Whether you’re prepping ahead for the holidays or just need something sweet without heating the kitchen, these chocolate coconut bites deliver every single time.
