- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to use unsweetened shredded coconut to keep the recipe low in sugar.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are finely ground.
- To make the almond butter easier to mix, warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds before adding it to the mixture.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, shredded coconut, molasses, almond butter, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
3. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bites are firm to the touch.
5. While the bites are baking, melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave.
6. Once the bites are done baking, dip them in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
7. Place the bites in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
8. Serve and enjoy!
