Notes
Just a few notes. I used shredded coconut as it called for, but I personally prefer flaked, and I think it would work better in this type of recipe. I also used sweetened coconut since I didn’t have any unsweet, and it didn’t seem overly sweet to me.
Aslo, if your mixture seems a bit dry, just do what I did, mix a bit more peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract together and add it to the mix. I also didn’t have cocoa nibs laying around, but the recipe worked out just fine this time without them I think, and I don’t know if I’m going to go out of my way to add them next time I make this to be honest.
