 I had some pretty special taste testers yesterday... and they all agreed.  It was heaven in our mouths!


Chocolate Strawberry Pieces of Heaven

 
Where have these delicious morsels been all my life?
They are delicious and pretty much good for you. What?!

Lets figure out the calories and nutritional facts before accepting that they are good for you, OK?

Whoa! that's a lot of fat you say?  Yes, but it's the good kind of fat. No cholesterol, no trans fat, high in MCT's (Medium Chain Tryglicerides).  Gluten free, dairy free, grain free, refined sugar free...

4 ingredients and no baking required!
Its just too good to be true.  I say it's too good not to share.

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Organic Coconut oil
1/3 Cup Organic local Honey
4 Tbsp unsweetened, plain cocoa powder
6 strawberries cut into small pieces
Optional: 10 drops of Peppermint Oil


Directions:
I used a pint mason jar to measure and mix everything in.  Also used just one of the beaters of my hand mixer.


  • Measure the oils and honey and mix together until creamy, add the chocolate and mix until smooth.
  • Put mini cupcake liners in a mini cupcake tin.
  • Drizzle enough of the chocolaty mixture to cover the bottom of the liner.
  • Add the strawberry (or any other berries you want) chunks
  • Add more chocolate goodness so it's not more that 3/4 full.
  • put the whole thing in the freezer for 5 minutes
  • you can peel off the liners and keep them in a cool place or in the refrigerator if your house is over 76 degrees
  • Variation: add GF graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows
     and then cover with more chocolate goodness

    The kids called these "Honey Smore Truffles",
     "Marshmallow Delight" and "Rocky Road Graham Crumbs"
  • try to eat just one. I dare you.
  • They will melt all over your hands on a hot day, or in your mouth.  Your choice.
