I don’t know about you but I am a girl who needs a little sweetness after something salty. I know it probably is habitual at this point, but man-o-man first thing I think about after a salty meal is chocolate. Yes, chocolate!

Coconut oil comes in two forms: unrefined and refined. Both types are mainly made up of a medium-chain fatty acid called lauric acid. Both refined and unrefined coconut oil contain the same amount of this beneficial fatty-acid. Unrefined coconut oil, however, is richer in phytonutrients than refined coconut oil. It also lends more of a coconut flavor, so when using in baking remember this.  That is why unrefined coconut oil works so well in this recipe.

I used Spectrum Organic Virgin Coconut Oil in this recipe because it is unrefined and great for baking up all your treats

As well as all the other wonderful things you can use coconut oil for… makeup remover, moisturizer, teeth cleaner. I could go on and on. I use the stuff A LOT!

You can find Spectrum Organic Virgin Coconut Oil as well as all the fabulous Hain Celestial brands at your local Kroger grocery store.

    I love the recipe and will give it a try. I shop at either Mariemont or Madeira Krogers and I sometimes have trouble finding your recommended ingredients. It would be great if Krogers could mark or set up a Kiosk for all your ingredients.
    It would be great to get on the tester list.

    Can’t wait to try this! Thanks so much! I used to live in Cincinnati so it was fun to read about Mariemont and Madeira! I live in Austin now. I’ll have no troubles finding the ingredients:)

    These look mouth wateringly good! I too love a chocolatey treat after a savoury meal and I can’t seem to break the habit. But when it’s a healthy sweet treat then it’s ok 🙂
