These were so easy to make! I didn't have shredded coconut, so I rolled it in a little flour to prevent them from sticking to my hands. They are a great treat! Thanks for the recipe!

I really like these. I made them with almond butter when I ran out of peanut butter and they were still good. But they are definitely the best made with peanut butter! Also, I use a little less honey than is called for. Great recipe, Rebeca. :)

These were very good. The flavor reminded me of a dark chocolate truffle. You can also flatten them with a spoon and fill the indentation with peanut butter - our 4 year old loved them this way!

These sound wonderful but any suggestions for something to replace the cocoa powder? I'm allergic to that.
Possibly just some powdered sugar?

You could just make it without the cocoa and see how it turns out, or try one of these recipes: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/recipe_No-Bake_Chocolate_Chip_Peanut_Butter_Balls.htm and this one: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/recipe_Chocolate_Coconut_Peanut_Butter_Balls.htm

They both have chocolate chips but you can omit them without any problems.

@ Leslie
You should be able to use carob powder and maybe reduce the honey a bit since the carob is a little sweet.

Excellent and easy to make! My three year old and I had fun making these. We put them in the refrigerator for an hour or so before eating them. Healthy and fun.
