Yes, if you melt the coconut oil, you cannot make this into balls.  Just spread into an 8×8 pan lined with the parchment paper.  Pull it all out after freezing, then cut into squares.  My whole family loved it!  I added more flax/chia meal too.  Great way to get coconut oil and healthy stuff in them.  I did add some chocolate Stevia drops too bcz it wasn’t sweet enough.

For those with the runny batter issues – is the coconut oil in a solid form when you’re mixing it up? If it’s liquid that could be the reason why. Try adding it slowly instead of all at once. And to fix consistency, try adding more cocoa and almond butter or sticking it in the freezer for a few minutes.

And as for maca powder, it is powdered maca root.

Something is terribly wrong. The batter was so runny, there was no way to use an ice cream scoop or anything else. It was soup! So, like someone else I read, I tried to add more stuff to make it less runny. The result? I’ve renamed the recipe “The Chocolate Terror”. It was awful. Can you check this recipe and tell us where we went wrong? Thank you.

Thinking about makeing the Crunch Bites but I don’t know what Maca powder is. Didn’t see it at the Health food store either.

These look beyond amazing … and there are no sneaky ingredients … like sugar or dairy … looking forward to making them !

Made these tonight.  Didn’t have maca powder so I subbed in coconut flour.  The batter was very runny.  Added in another tablespoon of shredded coconut but it was still runny.  I also added a tablespoon of chia seeds to bulk it up but the batter was still very runny.  Batter sure tasted good though. :)
