Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Laureen, do you think that somehow ground organic chocolate would work, rather than a bar? Maybe that’s wishful thinking… Looks delish!
Glimmersmith, I am not sure what you mean by ground organic chocolate, is that like a cocoa powder? If it melts to make a coating it should work, if it doesn’t melt like a powder, I don’t think it would taste that good.
Yes, it’s a powder. Trying to eliminate the sugar that would be in an actual chocolate bar. Might not be able to, I guess. Thanks. 🙂
Laureen, I don’t have a chocolate bar, per se, but I do have some organic ground chocolate. Do you think that would work somehow? This looks fabulous!
Wow! These look so good! I love coconut and chocolate together.
Agreed, Angela! chocolate and coconut = delicious!
Could I substitute stevia for the honey? If so, how much stevia would you recommend?
Hello, I am not sure stevia would work as a replacement, as the honey also works as a binder (helps hold it together). I would certainly try it though, maybe 1/2 the recipe to try. As stevia is quite a concentrated sweet, I would just try 2 teaspoons. I would love to hear back if you try this.
I have made these several times and they are so yummy and addicting. I put almonds on top of the chocolate and it was absolutely Delicious. As someone else said, Almond Joy!
Good thing they are good for you, because you’re right they are addictive.
place an almond between coconut and chocolate layers……….almond joy!
or place on top would make them look nice as well as taste yum!
Just SO delicious!!
They are addictive, Sarina.
Thanks for the recipe, soo good. I used a 24 count mini muffin pan and it was the perfect amount.
Lynn the mini muffin tin is an excellent idea!
Yum, I’m making this ASAP!
Fantastic, let me know how they turn out!
Just lovely! I used a 8 x 8 pan and used parchment paper to 1/2 the pan since I 1/2 the recipe. Turned out great. Thanks!
Michele, I appreciate you dropping by to let me know. They are addictive aren’t they!
