Chocolate Coconut Heart Candies
Deliciously sweet and crunchy Chocolate Coconut Heart Candies that make a perfect dessert to end the night or gift for a special someone 🙂

If you haven’t picked up on this yet, let me spell it out. I L-I-K-E chocolate. Well, I like-like chocolate. It’s my go-to treat. All chocolate errrythang. This Valentine’s Day, though, I’ve probably told Jaryd 10 times not to get me chocolate. I know, who even am I? I’m trying to keep it healthy, people!!

Chocolate Coconut Heart Candies

Here’s what I love about these chocolate coconut candies. You make them yourself. They are adorably heart shaped. They have that dark chocolate taste that knocks out your sweet tooth. AND the sea salt is MANDATORY in this recipe because sea salt chocolate is what dreams are made of. FYI.

After we took these from the freezer, Jaryd and I put these babies away like it was our job. We left two that we just couldn’t bring ourselves to eat. It’s like when you’re eating peanut butter straight from the jar and you look down and there’s only one scoop of peanut butter left so you immediately put the lid on and put it away so you don’t have to say to yourself that you finished off the jar of peanut butter.

jk I neeeeever do that.

We saved two hearts to make us feel better about ourselves. Well, not saying who, but someone ate both hearts in secret leaving the other person to come to the fridge only to whimper and yell, “Where did the chocolates go?!!” Like I said, not saying who…

But it was Jaryd. Jaryd ate them.

This is a 10 minute recipe and sooo fun and easy!! Here’s how you make  Chocolate Coconut Heart Candies:

In a bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, almond butter, vanilla extra, sea salt, and agave.

Add the shredded coconut and cocoa to the bowl.

Spoon the batter into your molds and sprinkle the remaining sea salt on top of each heart. Like I said, MANDATORY step!!

Also, I highly recommend silicone pans for these because then they just pop right out. This was my first time ever using silicone and it was the best. I got these on Amazon, but I’ve definitely seen similar ones at IKEA or I’m sure Target has something that would work!

Pop these in the freezer for at least an hour. If you are using a silicone mold, you may want to place the mold on a hard surface such as a cutting board or in a metal sheet pan before putting them in the freezer. This will help keep everything flat.

Keep them in the freezer for at least and hour and the’ll just pop right out of the mold!

Store them in the fridge!

      Aw bummer you didn’t like them – they are more of a keto cup or fat bomb consistency which is a melt in your mouth coconut oil texture. My kids like the meltiness, but I guess it’s not for everyone! xo
