Yep, you read it right…fat burning candy. With chocolate & coconut? I LOVE chocolate and coconut! (Hi, my name is Timothy Carter & I’m a choco-holic! haha) Mounds? Almond Joy? This recipe is better for you!

A few years ago my wife stumbled across the incredible chocolate coconut ball recipe that she scribbled down on a piece of paper. I called it the “Fat Burning Candy” recipe. As about as natural of a “healthy candy” can get in this day and age of high fructose corn syrup and processed foods.

I love dark chocolate and I love coconut. Coconut meat, coconut oil, coconut water…yum! If you know anything about the benefits of coconut oil…you know that coconut oil has fat burning benefits! Don’t believe me? Go Google it. I dare ya…

Okay…so here it is…the recipe you want to try:

Fat Burning Candy

1/2 cup organic Cocoa Powder
3 cups of shredded unsweetened coconut
3/4 Cup coconut oil, raw organic
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup chopped raw almonds (or macadamia nuts)

Mix the Cocao and coconut together. Add coconut oil and agave nectar. Then mix in the chopped almonds.

Place in small mounds (spoonful) on tray and put in freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Once they’ve hardened in the freezer they’re ready to eat and/or store in a freezer bag. They’ll store for weeks in the refrigerator. Remember, it doesn’t take much more than 72 degrees for coconut oil to turn to liquid.

These are great chocolate & coconut candy treats for burning fat and satisfying the sweet tooth.

Everything in moderation though!

Let me know what you think when you’ve tried ‘em! What do you think of the recipe?
