Choco-Bombs

Okay, I made these up, but they are awesome and you can make them any way you want, with whatever ingredients you wish. Mine are hard-core so I don't recommend them for beginners, but go ahead and make them with your favorite chocolate.

1 Big Bar of chocolate (I use Green and Black's 85%)
A lot of shredded coconut
A lot of cacao nibs

Melt the bar of chocolate, preferably in a double-boiler so as not to burn it. Stir in as much coconut and nibs as you can until you have a big mass. Line a tray with wax paper and spoon out globs of this concoction onto your tray. They will not look pretty, and they won't even seem to hold together very well - don't worry about it. Put the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes until they are set. Now you have Choco-Bombs. They are so named because 85% plus lots of nibs gives you quite a kick. They can be made without the nibs, or with milk chocolate. You can use nuts instead of nibs, or nuts and dried fruit, eliminating the coconut if you don't like coconut. It is basically melted chocolate with whatever you like stirred in - enough to form a big mass so you have something to spoon out in little clumps. That's it.
