We loved this recipe! Keeping this one on hand for future use.
Its ones of my favs! and so quick and easy to make!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made them last night, it was such a quick and easy recipe. I brought some into work today and my coworkers are drooling over them, rave reviews all around! 🙂
That is awesome Marybeth, so glad everyone enjoyed them !
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! I LOVED how these turned out. So tasty, very coconutty, not too sweet and just yum! 🙂 Next time I might add some ground vanilla bean and reduce the honey (or leave it out alltogether), but thats just personal preference. For sure these will become a staple “clean” snack in my house.
Thanks Laura, great idea adding the vanilla bean for even more great flavour!
I soooooooooo have to make these. OMG
Redawna, they are so easy to make and a guilt free treat!
These look fabulous!
thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to drop me a note.
Hi Laureen! I made a double batch last time and had to freeze them so I wouldn’t eat them all at once!! I will be making another batch today and just want to thank you for this amazing recipe!
Addictive aren’t they. thank you so much for your kind words.
Did they freeze well? I am thinking about making them for a wedding so I will have to freeze in advance. Do they melt easily?
Hi Linda, they should freeze well, although not 100% sure as I have never froze them. They do melt easily! so not sure if they would work well for a wedding.
Yum. I just read about the raw almonds and finishing salt. I have everything to make! BTW, there is a coconut oil that has no coconut taste at all. I buy it at Whole Foods. I use it for baking. I think its the refined one. It’s good to have both on hand.
Thanks Angela, I will check out that coconut oil at Whole Foods.
Hi All,
KTC make a tasteless coconut oil, that is great in cooking etc. I’m in the UK but you probably get it in US also. I get it from amazon but it’s also available from Asda. It’s much cheaper than other brands but is pure coconut oil and has all the benefits, (i read a blog from someone who investigated this over other more expensive oils) just ‘over’ refined so it’s lost it’s taste, so it’s good for regular cooking where you don’t want it to be coconutty or if you don’t want to use the expensive tasty oil and ‘waste’ it.
Can’t wait to try out the above, just have to buy some good chocolate to put on top 😀
Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for this great recipe! I doubled the filling to fit in to an 8×8 pan then topped them with raw almonds and a sprinkling of Fleur de Sel finishing salt. They were a HUGE hit! I will definitely make these again!
Thanks Cinde, the raw almonds sounds great!
Thanks for the awesome tip Cande, so many wonderful uses for coconut oil. Coconut oil is also the best thing ever to remove eye makeup!
