Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, combine 1 cup chopped dried mango, 1 cup chopped dried pineapple, 1/2 cup raw cashews, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together but still has some texture, about 20-30 pulses.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut until evenly incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Using your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch bite-sized balls, rolling them gently to compact.
  4. Step 4: Place the snack bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
