Place the toasted, chopped almonds into the bowl of a food processor.

Pulse the almonds until they turn into a coarse meal.

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, honey, and melted coconut oil to the food processor.

Continue pulsing the mixture until a very thick paste forms.

Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.

If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or more honey to help it come together.

Be careful not to add too much liquid.

Once a thick paste has formed, scoop the mixture into small balls using a cookie scoop or spoon.

Roll each ball in sweetened shredded coconut or chopped almonds to coat.

Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
