The nice thing about this recipe is you can substitute the coconut and chocolate for anything you prefer or keep them and add anything else, like whole almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, raisins and anything else you can imagine! NOTE: the flax seeds add a nutty flavour themselves so keep that in mind when adding other nuts!
