4-After chilling, use a medium cookie scoop to form 1.5-inch balls, and don’t forget to place one whole almond in the center of each for that delightful surprise.

5-Next, roll each ball in the remaining 1 cup of coconut flakes to give them a beautiful, textured coating. If you want to get fancy, place them in mini cupcake wrappers for serving it’s a small touch that makes them look store-bought!
