This sweetener/dairy/egg-free concoction is extremely addictive. Consider yourself warned!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup creamed coconut (not coconut cream)
1 tbsp. coconut oil
2 tbsp. unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tbsp. chopped Macadamia nuts
2 tbsp. frozen blueberries (the smaller the better)
2 tsp. (level) unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Ghiradelli)
a pinch of cinnamon
Instructions:
Melt creamed coconut and coconut oil over low heat. Stir in cocoa powder and cinnamon. Add remaining ingredients and remove from heat. Spread onto wax or parchment paper and refrigerate (or throw in the freezer if you are impatient like me) until hard.

Is creamed coconut the same as this? http://www.amazon.com/Artisana-Organic-Coconut-Butter-16oz/dp/B000WV153I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287436015&sr=8-1
That looks good!

I believe the coconut butter is blended with oil to make it spreadable. Creamed coconut is quite hard and a bit crumbly at room temperature. Also, much less expensive than the coconut butter from what I can tell. I pay less than $1 for a 6 oz. block of pure creamed coconut.

These look delicious! I forgot the last time I went shopping that I wanted to make this. Yum.

I love your new blog, and look forward to future posts! I may definitely have to make those truffles once I wrap up the Whole 30!

Q: where do you buy this creamed coconut, at the natural foods store or you can find it at your local grocer’s?

I purchase mine at a local international farmers market. A natural food store would likely be a better bet than a regular grocery store, have never seen it there.

[...] There’s no real recipe here since I was just kind of piling things into a bowl, stirring it up and then freezing it. But here is a good example of some Coconut Blueberry Chocolate Bark: (and a great site as well) http://lifeasadreger.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/paleo-coconut-blueberry-bark/ [...]
