In a food processor, process cashews until very fine.

Add in coconut, maple, sea salt and vanilla and process until fully combined. Add a bit more maple if this seems too dry.

Stir in chocolate chips. (you can transfer to a mixing bowl for this if preferred.)

Roll into small bite sized balls. If the dough is sticky, rub the hands with a touch of coconut oil or let chill for about 10-15 minutes before rolling.

If desired, fill the bottom of a small bowl with coconut and roll each ball to coat and cover.

Chill for about 20 minutes before serving.
