Fudgecicle Treats

I was really uncertain what to call this little experiment. I think they taste like butter and the first thing that comes to mind is Paula Deen. At least she isn't using margarine right?
These turned out to be great little treats to steal out of the freezer for a bite if you're craving something sweet and don't want to binge on the sketchy assorted chocolate boxes they are currently peddling at the drugstores right now...

Fudgecicle Treats
3/4 cup of melted coconut oil 
1/2 cup (heaping) of Almond Butter
4 Tbsp sweetener of choice (I recommend Honey or Maple Syrup) 
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
10 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla 



Mix all this goodness in a bowl and pour into fancy chocolate molds. Oh wait! I didn't have any of those so I used some dollar store ice trays! Clear a space in your freezer and freeze them for a few hours. Once they are frozen pop out of fancy chocolate molds, or ice trays, and put in air tight container. Place your airtight container back in freezer for easy snacking access. Unfortunately these little guys melt easily so they aren't incredibly portable but they are a yummy treat to keep at home.
 
Here's to getting some sweet treats this Valentine's Day!
