I can totally live without treats but they are certainly fun to make and to eat once in awhile. Completing one week on the 21-day sugar detox and having friends over called for just that. These treat cups are crazy easy to make and taste so delicious. The taste of lime takes me to a tropical island. For this recipe I used homemade coconut butter which I think made them even better! Enjoy!

Can I make this in a blender?
I have never tried making these in a blender but I’m thinking it would not work very well. Coconut oil hardens easily as it cools. The stove top works great because everything stays melted until you are ready to pour the mixture into the mold. If you try using a blender please let me know how it worked and I can update the recipe. Thanks!
HI…the link to your coconut butter recipe is no longer working. Tried searching the site, but either it’s gone completely or I’m just blind. Can you update it or re-share it?
Hi Joe! Thank you for calling this to my attention. I have re-linked it and it seems to be working but please let me know if you are still having issues. Again thanks so much for letting me know!
