Method

Mix peanut butter, honey and cocoa in a medium bowl until well combined.


Stir in the raisins and 2 tablespoons of the coconut. Stir in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.


Place remaining coconut, sesame seeds and nuts into 3 separate bowls.


Using a spoon, scoop small heaps of the peanut mixture from the bowl; roll into 1 1/4-inch balls.


Rolling is easier if you form a rough ball, roll in coconut, and then continue rolling into a more perfect shape.


Roll each finished ball in more coconut, sesame seeds and chopped nuts.


Arrange the balls on a plate, cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
