Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed. Add a little more honey if you prefer it sweeter. - Line a Tray

If you want neater bites, gently shape them into small rounds using the back of a spoon. - Freeze Until Firm
Place the tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm. - Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil. Stir until smooth. - Dip the Bites
Remove the frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. - Add Sea Salt
Place the dipped bites back on the tray and immediately sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top. - Freeze Again
