1. In a pan over medium heat, toast coconut and sliced almonds until the coconut starts to brown and is fragrant. Remove from heat and using a sharp knife, chop the mixture finely. Set aside in a small bowl, along with another small bowl of cocoa powder.

6. Using a small ice cream scoop, make scoops of the cooled chocolate mixture and place on a lined cookie sheet. Push 1 half of an almond into each dollop. Transfer back to fridge for another 15-20 minutes.

7. Remove truffles from fridge only 4 at a time to prevent unnecessary melting. Roll dollops into balls with your hands (remember, it doesn't have to be perfect) and roll in either the almond/coconut mixture or the cocoa powder. I found it useful to wash my hands in between batches of 4 because things can get pretty messy.
