Over medium-high heat in a saucepan, heat honey, cream, coconut cream concentrate, vanilla and salt.

Turn off heat and stir in almonds and coconut.
Grease 8×8 pan – pour in caramel mixture and allow to cool or put in refrigerator to cool faster.
Once cool, cut into desired shape and size and place on wax paper – melt chocolate and brush on top of caramels – allow chocolate to harden and they’re ready to eat!

Persimmon Cream Cheese Topping:
Combine all ingredients and add more honey or spices to taste. Add a dollop of persimmon cream cheese topping on the muffins and sprinkle with cane sugar.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets with coconut oil.
Mix together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
Cream together butter, coconut oil and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, add vanilla. Add almonds followed by flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time.
Roll dough out between 2 sheets of wax or parchment paper and cut into circles. Cut a smaller circle in half of the cookies.
Transfer to prepared cookie sheets and bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Move to wire racks to cool.
When completely cool, assemble. Place a small dollop of fruit spread on the cookie without the hole and cover with a cookie with the hole. Dust powder sugar over the top (optional).
Preheat oven at 350. Grease a 10x15x1 inch jelly roll pan generously with coconut oil.
Cream butter and cream cheese together; add sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in flours and salt. Spread in prepared pan.
Bake cake for 20 minutes. Immediately after removing from oven spoon the peanut butter/coconut peanut butter over the top. Let sit a few minutes until melted and spread evenly (if using crunchy peanut butter put back in the oven for 4 minutes till it melts enough to spread). Let set or store in the refrigerator until peanut butter/coconut peanut butter hardens.
Melt chocolate chips and spread over the peanut layer. Let sit until firm or store in the refrigerator.
Place pumpkin and spices into a small saucepan and heat gently over medium low heat, stirring constantly. Heat just until slightly warmed through.
Place the eggs and sweetened condensed milk into a bowl and add pumpkin. Whisk to combine and pour into prepared crust.
Bake for 13 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake for another 35 – 40 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from crust comes out clean. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator.
In a medium sized bowl cut the butter and coconut oil into the coconut flour until mixture resembles irregular pea sized clumps. Add remaining ingredients except egg white. Mix together with your hands until a soft dough has formed. Pat dough into a 9 inch pie pan. When you are done forming the crust, take the egg white and beat it with a fork until frothy. With a pastry brush, brush the crust with the egg white just before filling.
* You can make your own sweetened condensed milk
with our recipe here.
In a large saucepan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, ginger and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add sweet potato, cayenne, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth.
Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat into medium-low heat; simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
Puree the soup in the saucepan using an immersion blender or a regular blender in 2 batches.
Return the soup to the saucepan. Stir in coconut peanut butter and honey, continue stirring until peanut butter and honey melts. Serve hot.
Lay shrimp in a single layer on a plate. Generously sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the seasoning over the shrimp. Flip over to other side and season with the rest of the seasoning. Lightly sprinkle with salt if you used a salt free seasoning. Add cayenne pepper if you want a spicier shrimp.
Heat 1/4 inch coconut oil in frying pan. Fry shrimp in medium to high heat until you start to see the edges turn white, approximately 2 minutes.
Flip and cook other side, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Do not overcook.
This is my latest creation using our newest product: Coconut Peanut Butter! What is Coconut Peanut Butter? Coconut Peanut Butter is a wonderfully smooth and creamy blend of coconut and peanut butter; a new twist on the old favorite. I never thought the two would be such a perfect match, but they are! The spread is creamier then regular peanut butter and a bit sweeter too.
These delectable little candies are a great addition to any Christmas cookie and candy plate! They’re rich, creamy and very much a candy. They just melt in your mouth! Hence the name: Meltaways. The pretty, creamy peanut butter and coconut swirls go round and round, just begging you to bite into them. Even non coconut lovers will find them hard to pass up, and peanut butter lovers will find them irresistible.
The problem is they’re addicting. I mean addicting. They’re dangerous. If you have a wild sweet tooth you’d better watch it around these little candies. Give them away, freeze them until Christmas time, hide them in the back of the refrigerator, make them only once a year, or make sure you’re not the only one eating them. Just don’t let them keep staring at you from their pretty perch on the serving plate.
Next time I make these I’ll add more Coconut Peanut Butter. I used about 1/4 cup per ball of “dough” but next time will probably use about 1/3 of a cup or more. If you use more then 1/4 cup, I’d recommend sticking the whole round into the refrigerator to firm up a bit so that the spread doesn’t all ooze out during the rolling. After it’s firmer, take it back out and roll it up. After that, judge whether you need to stick it back in before slicing. I didn’t refrigerate before rolling the dough into a log so I refrigerated it after it was rolled up and then sliced it after 10 minutes of chilling time.
So that’s that! Be sure to order a jar or two of the new Coconut Peanut Butter so you can make these wonderful little candies yourself! They truly are a must try. They’re rich, creamy, coconutty, peanutty, melty, gluten free and no bake. Can it get any better then that?
Combine all ingredients except Coconut Peanut Butter until a soft but not sticky dough forms. Divide into two balls.
Roll each ball out into a 6 inch circle (or desired size) between two sheets of wax or parchment paper. Spread with at least 1/4 cup coconut peanut butter. Add more if desired. If you used about 1/3 cup of Coconut Peanut Butter or more, refrigerate un-rolled round for about 5 minutes, or until firmer.
Roll dough spread with Coconut Peanut Butter up into a log. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until firm enough to slice.
Take logs out and slice into 1/2 inch pieces. Keep refrigerated.
