I had these at my friends house today, and they were so yummy I had to come home and make some. Thank you, Michelle, for the awesome recipe!

They're super easy to make. Although they aren't "healthy" in a low- calorie sense, they are organic and a more whole, natural way to get your chocolate fix. Sweetened with honey, they don't contain any cane sugar.
The end result is like a cross between a thick fudge and the inside of a chocolate truffle. Because they are made with coconut oil, the candies need to be kept chilled so they don't get runny. Although bringing them to room temperature makes them gooey, which is not a bad thing:-)
Ingredients:
1 cup organic coconut oil (I used Wildtree Organic Coconut Oil, which does not have a strong coconut favor)
1 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup organic honey
1 cup organic coconut oil (I used Wildtree Organic Coconut Oil, which does not have a strong coconut favor)
1 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup organic honey
In a mixing bowl, beat the coconut oil and add the cocoa powder slowly (so the powder doesn't get everywhere). Add the honey and mix well. Pour into a small dish with sides- I used an individual casserole dish.
Chill for 45 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
After cutting (don't mind my poor cutting job- my son helped me. But hey, it tastes the same, right?)
Optional: I added a pinch of sea salt to the top of mine before chilling. A small amount goes a long way. It gave it a little extra flavor. You could also add almonds or walnuts.
They hould be chilled long enough so each square come out of the pan easily. If the chocolate is too warm, the squares will be too gooey and will stick to the pan and fall apart.
