Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups coconut butter, store-bought or homemade recipe link below in notes
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Layer
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Gently warm and soften coconut butter, vanilla extract and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat. Be careful not to overheat as you can easily burn the coconut butter.Scoop the softened mixture into a 12 cavity silicone snack mold making sure to only fill them 3/4 full. Press each one down with the back of a teaspoon so the mixture is even.Note: Warming the coconut butter allows you to easily get it into the little squares of the mold. If you do not have a snack mold, see note below.Freeze the coconut squares for 10 minutes or until solid.
Chocolate Layer
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50% power with 30 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Remove the coconut squares from the freezer and carefully spoon the melted chocolate over the cold coconut squares.Place the tray back in the freezer to set, approximately 10 minutes. Pop the squares out of the mold. Serve immediately or store in container in fridge. Note: If you do not have a silicone snack mold simply pour the softened coconut butter mixture into a lined 6” or 8” cake pan, pour chocolate topping on top and when chilled down and solid, cut into 12 squares to serve.
