NOTES:
* You can buy coconut butter already made, or if you have a high-speed blender you can easily make you own by following this recipe.
** This is yummy as a coconut chocolate fudge – just omit the peppermint oil or add in orange food-grade essential oil if you like a choc-orange taste.
*** to make this vegan friendly, simply swap the raw honey with maple syrup or your liquid sweetener of choice.
