In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded coconut and 1 cup of drained crushed pineapple. Drizzle in 1/4 cup of maple syrup or agave, then mix gently with a spatula until everything is well combined, creating a sticky mixture that holds together.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and the juice of half a lime to the coconut mixture. Stir carefully to evenly distribute the nuts, keeping the texture light and airy.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up the mixture.

Take the chilled mixture out and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Make around 20 bite-sized pieces and place them on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.

For an optional touch, melt 1/4 cup of dark chocolate and drizzle it over the rolled Coconut Pineapple Bites. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
