- 2/3 cup coconut oil
- 4 ounces quality dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the cocoa powder, almonds, and coconut flakes until you have a crumbly texture.
Pour the honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low. Allow the mixture to gently simmer and bubble until it reaches 245 degrees F. Don't walk away while you wait and check the temperature often.
Quickly remove the pan from the stove and carefully stir in the chocolate, cocoa mixture, and vanilla.
Once the chocolate is well combined, pour it evenly amongst the squares of the ice cube tray. At this point, you can mix in or top the chocolates with your choice of flavorings
Freeze the chocolates for about an hour until firm. Pop the chocolates out of the mold and keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat.
