Chocolate Maple Coconut Macaroons


I love 4 ingredient recipes...they're my standby. I'm a girl of convenience, really.  
Let it be easy, clean and absolutely delicious, and most of all, make it quick!

This is dedicated to all of you chocolate lovers out there who decide to satisfy their unplanned chocolate urges with something naughty and fake from the store...who does that? You do! And I used to! But if you have these four ingredients on hand (which by the way are really easy to get a hold of), you will have INSTANT satisfaction in a healthy, pure way and it will be dee-ee-licious! Trust me. Try them. Thank me later :) 

1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup cacao or cocoa
1/3 cup maple syrup (or up to 1/2 cup to thin mixture out)
1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Over a double boiler, slowly melt the coconut oil, cocoa and maple syrup and stir until well combined.  In a bowl, combine the coconut and chocolate mixture together.  Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out bite-sized macaroons on a plate.  Refrigerate to solidify or just eat as is.  

They don't have to be perfect or round...just delicious and semi-uniform in shape. Enjoy!
