Chocolate Monkey Bites



Ingredients • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp cocoa powder • 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted • 3 tbsp maple syrup • 1/2 a banana • Tiny pinch salt • Optional: 1-2 tbsp peanut butter (or another nut butter)



Making it 1. Combine the first three ingredients in a bowl and stir until it makes a chocolate sauce. 2. Pour a little of the sauce (saving the rest for later) into the bottoms of cupcake liners, mini cupcake liners, or candy molds. Then freeze 8-10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, blend (or mash and stir with a fork) the banana, salt, and optional ingredients. 4. Take liners out of the freezer and top each with banana mixture. 5. Evenly distribute the rest of the chocolate and re-freeze until solid. Adapted from http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/08/02/chocolate-monkey-peanut-butter-bites/
