Chocolate Coconut Snowballs--Gluten-free and Dairy-free

Cuteness score 10/10.     Flavour score 10/10.

These Chocolate Coconut Snowballs are easy, scrumptious, can be made well ahead of your next gathering, and provide an option for guests who are avoiding gluten or dairy. They are simply a redesign of the yummy Chocolate Coconut Pops I made for Hallowe'en.

Mix the ingredients in a food processor, roll them in your hands, pop a candy cane in each, chill, then dip in melted chocolate. They're a no-guilt indulgence as the base is made without refined sugar and simply consists of coconut, coconut oil, flavouring and honey. The candy cane is optional, of course, but it's awfully cute.
