In reply to Sarah. Adding the honey likely made the mixture too thin to hold together. Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature and honey is a liquid the consistency wouldn't work for shaping into balls.

I made these tonight after a long hiatus. What I love most is how they aren’t super sweet like macaroons. I also like that they’re healthy. Additionally, I can eat theses on a carb conscious eating plan. I add course salt (Pure Ocean) on top and the flavors blend beautifully. I like a mix of 100% and semi-sweet chocolate for these. These are a favorite amongst the crowd. I wish I could post a picture.

Honestly I was so excited to make these as the reviews were great; however, mine didn’t come out like the picture and the instructions. My mixture wasn’t white like the picture. I had to add some honey as the mixture wasn’t sweet at all. After I refrigerated the mixture, I couldn’t form it into balls- it kept falling apart. What did I do wrong? I was very disappointed. I ended up having to spread the mixture into a pan and spread some of the melted chocolate on top. It tastes fine but I was really looking forward to having a dessert that looked like your picture.

In reply to Karen. Sure you can! You can use any method you'd like for melting chocolate. An easy substitute for a double boiler is to place a glass bowl over a pan with a small amount of simmering water in it. The glass bowl shouldn't touch the water. The heat from the steam will melt the chocolate.

In reply to Wellness Mama. Can you make without a double boiler?

In reply to Karen. Hi I was wondering if there was an almond butter substitute? We have nut allergies. Thanks!

Could you use coconut butter in place of the coconut oil?

Hello! I followed the instructions to the T. My coconut filling is tan, I assume from the almond butter. Your’s appears to be white. Did you use a different nut butter? Cashew? Or perhaps coconut butter?

These are sooo delicious. They dont even last 2 days in my home, lol. We all love them. It’s great to have such an easy, healthy & yummy snack to make for my grandson on short notice. Thank you Katie!

Sound totally yummy. Why almond butter? Can another nut butter be used that would still taste good? I’m allergic to almonds.

Hi y’all, I don’t know when this was originally posted, but today [February 6, 2018] there are NO amounts on the ingredients list or in the Instructions! I even tried clicking the “Print” button but only get the instructions… Can someone tell me what happened? I’d love to try these, but I’m not good enough to guess at the proportions of the ingredients (although I see in a few of the comments that it should be 1/3 cup coconut oil, I’ve no idea what the rest of the amounts should be). Thanks in advance for any help… In His grace, Kay [in VA]

In reply to Nila. I would not as it is often sweetened with white processed sugar.

This looks awesome! However, I have a nut allergy. Would you recommend Sunflower butter as an alt to Almond butter?

In reply to Marci. Great catch! It should be 1/3 cup. And for the ones in the picture, I used coconut butter, which is why it is white.

I’m a little confused with the measurement of coconut oil…on the ingredient list it’s 1/3 cup coconut oil but in the instructions it says add 2/3 cup. Also, i could only find a large bag of coconut flakes, 14 ounces so I weighed out 5 ounces to use and when this was all mixed with the peanut butter (I don’t have almond butter on hand) the filling is very brown in color, nothing like the picture. Any advice or clarification? Thanks!
