coconut butter costs about 10$ in the store, however you can make it at home for 2$. 2$ and 12 minutes of time. you need: unsweetened dry coconut flakes a blender optional: if you dont want it to harden as hard as chocolate mix in some oil for chocolate coconut butter or chocolate candies, mix in melted chocolate, then pour into molds for a chocolate coconut delight. perfect for home made easter baskets or valentines day. it costs less than chocolate so its good for extending chocolate farther for more candy for the dollar. sugar or salt can be added for flavor ive heard good things about adding cocoa powder and sugar what you can do with it: add a bit to either a chocolate cake batter (melted with the oil) or even a yellow cake batter for a coconut cake. ive also heard of it being added to chocolate cookies. drizzle it on stuff, such as certain squashes, you can also drizzle sweetened coconut butter on top of chocolate bundt cake as icing, for this add powdered sugar to the melted coconut butter use in the making of frostings as a flavor enhancer. this is a raw food and is vegan, im not vegan but a lot of people are.
