This recipe was interesting–I have never had coconut butter before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I have to say that if you haven’t made these before, the recipe doesn’t fully explain how to make them properly and I made quite a few mistakes. So as I write how to make this, I will italicize my modifications to make your life easier if you choose to make these. Also, I felt the coconut butter to be too much, so I am going to make it with less for the future.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut butter
- 3½ tablespoons 100% dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder

- Add one teaspoon of the chocolate on top of the chilled coconut butter and refrigerate until chocolate is set.
