My Notes: I have not made these yet. These are next on my list!
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic shredded coconut
- 1/4 cups coconut oil
- 3-4 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 2 bars of organic fair trade dark chocolate
Step 1: Using a small saucepan, gently heat coconut oil and shredded coconut on low heat. The shredded coconut will begin to 'puff up after a few minutes in the warm oil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: In a food processor, process dates, vanilla and salt until creamy and smooth.
Step 3: Mix coconut mixture with date mixture. Pour into a small, bread loaf size pan. Place in freezer for an hour or until set.
Step 4: Gently heat dark chocolate in a small saucepan onlowlieat. You can also use a double broiler to melt the chocolate. While chocolate is melting, cut the coconut candy into 'mound" size pieces.
