Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
• liquid sweetener to taste, about 18 tsp equivalent, divided

Preparation

Step 1

To make individual candies, use a silicon form. Mine is squares, but mini muffin cups would work well, as would conventional candy molds. The pan I use to make the square candies is available here. Divide the chocolate flavored oil among 12 small cups. Set the mixture into the refrigerator to set up. Be sure the mold rests evenly. Chill for about 10 minutes. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer. Return to the refrigerator to set. When firm, take out and pour the remaining clear layer over the peanut butter. Chill until ready to serve.
