Healthy "Mounds" Bites

When I first saw this recipe, I wanted to try it.  And then a friend made them and I was hooked.  Until I found I was allergic to almonds!  Other nuts work, too, so that's good!

I used an ice cube tray to make these individual little goodies.  One recipe makes 2 trays.

Ingredients:

Almonds or Walnuts, or whatever (as many nuts as you have compartments to fill)

Coconut Part:
1 1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Chocolate Part:
3/4 cup cocoa or raw cacao powder
1/4 cup honey
1 cup coconut oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla

Method:

Put one nut (or as many as you like) in each ice cube compartment.

Mix together coconut, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup honey and almond extract until well combined.
Pack into each compartment over the nuts until about 3/4 full.
Freeze for 30 minutes.

In a double boiler, melt together the cocoa or cacao powder, 1/4 cup honey, 1 cup coconut oil and 1 T vanilla.  Whisk until well combined.
Pour into the compartments over the nuts and coconut mixture and freeze again for 30 minutes.

Pop the bites out of the ice cube trays and store in the freezer in either a ziploc bag or other container.
