"Mounds" Frozen Candy Bars

They're almost healthy...

1 1/3 C. unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 C. coconut oil (unrefined, virgin is best)
1/4 C. honey
1 tsp. almond extract
1/2 C. sliced almonds

* Melt coconut oil and honey over low heat until just melted. Whisk to combine. Add almond extract and coconut flakes.
* Take a 12-compartment muffin tin and evenly distribute the almonds in each. Then evenly distribute the coconut mixture over each of those. Place in freezer on flat surface for 30 minutes.
* Next, you will prepare the chocolate:

3/4 C. cocoa powder (not dutch cocoa)
1/4 C. honey
1 C. coconut oil
1 Tblsp vanilla extract

* Combine these ingredients in a 2-cup measuring glass and place in a pot of simmering water. Heat and whisk until everything is just melted. Remove from heat and continue to whisk until smooth.
* Take out the tin of frozen coconut and evenly distribute the chocolate mixture over it.
* Put back into your freezer and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes.
* To get them out after freezing, simply pop them out with a knife. Keep them frozen as they melt otherwise.
* Enjoy!
