10 oz of chocolate ( I used enjoy life mini chocolate chips)
½ teaspoon of coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F
Place your cooked chickpeas in a large bowl and add the cinnamon, vanilla, liquid coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir well to coat all of the chickpeas evenly.
Pour on to a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roasted for 20-25 minutes, stirring them around occasionally.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool in a large bowl
Meanwhile, melt your chocolate and ½ teaspoon of coconut oil in a double boiler on your stove top.
Pour into bowl of chickpeas and gently stir to coat evenly.
Prepare your cooling rack on top of another tray to catch any chocolate drippings.
Pour the coated chickpeas in a single layer on the rack and allow them to cool for about 30 minutes in your fridge.
Gently flip your rack over and push the hardened chocolate chickpeas off the rack.
Break apart into balls.
ALTERNATIVELY: use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to drop haystack style treats on to a parchment lined baking sheet and allow them to harden in the fridge.
Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
