Chocolate Fruit n’ Nut Bites

they’re quite rich so these little bite-sized nuggets are perfect

I’m in love with Green and Black’s Almond dark chocolate bar.

Just typing the words is giving me butterflies in the belly. That’s how far gone I am.

in the interests of showing you their delicious insides, I ate a bite

And so I pledged to find a way to recreate my guilty pleasure (it’s not my only guilty pleasure btw, you can add Cupcake Wars and The Voice to that shameful list) and these coconut oil bites were the result.

sure to be a hit with tiny children (and big husbands)

They’re easy, healthy and dairy-free. Just make sure you get a good source of coconut oil (preferably organic) and unsweetened cocoa powder cos otherwise that stuff is just all sugar.

one of the more enjoyable ways to get coconut oil into your face

And, speaking of good quality coconut oil, have you entered my giveaway yet? You could get a free gallon jar of the stuff from Tropical Traditions simply by dropping me a note on facebook. More info here (it closes on Thursday so hurry!).
