Pineapple-Coconut Candies

If in doubt, just add chocolate.  These dense little balls of pineapple and coconut are pretty good on their own, but wrapping them in a chocolate shell takes them to a whole other level.  Sometimes I think we should all just be wrapped in chocolate shells.  Perhaps that will be my goal for Halloween.

The Ingredients:
3/4 c dried, unsweetened pineapple
1/2 c shredded, unsweetened coconut
1 1/2 t coconut oil, divided
1 T agave
1/2 c chocolate chips
2 t coconut milk (or other nondairy milk)

The Process:

1. Line a plate with waxed paper and place in the freezer.
2. In a food processor, pulse pineapple until chopped into small pieces.  Add coconut, 1 t coconut oil, and agave, and continue to process until mixture is well-combined and will hold together if pressed firmly into a ball.
3. Scoop out heaping teaspoons of pineapple-coconut mixture, and form into balls.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, coconut milk, and 1/2 t coconut oil.  Microwave on low power until chocolate is melted and glossy, stirring every 15-20 seconds.
5. Remove plate from freezer.  Using your fingers or a toothpick, dip each ball in chocolate, then place on prepared plate.  Return to the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow chocolate to firm up, then store, covered, in the refrigerator.
