Place 1.5 cups of shredded coconut in a food processor. Add 4 tbsp. of coconut oil and blend until it’s creamy like butter, scraping off the sides of the bowl as you go.
Add the coconut milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and a small pinch of salt and blend together until smooth.
Add the remaining coconut and process at high-speed until a dough forms.
Roll the mixture into 1″ balls. Note-if the mixture is wet and sticky you can place the batter in the fridge for 20 mins until it stiffens and then roll them into balls.
Place the balls in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
Melt your dark chocolate in a small double boiler on minimal heat for 1-2 mins until melted.
Take the coconut balls out of the fridge and dip them in the melted chocolate using a spoon, then place them on parchment paper. Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top while they are still wet and then place them in the fridge for 5-10 mins.
Store these Bliss Balls in the fridge to keep them fresh but serve them at room temperature to enjoy!
