I think I'll try and make these for my trip coming up. 

Hi Sarah!!  Great to see you

Great to have you step back in, Sarah.  How've you been?

The unsweetened coconut that I can find is really dry.  I put the coconut in a bowl or plastic bag with a couple of tablespoons of water to get it softened up.  I like the end result without the crunchy coconut.

I agree with Umpa.  A treat the doesn't require that I turn on the oven is perfect for summer.

Thanks for all the Howdys! I've been fine - just busy. I'm going to try beanit butter/sf honey treats next. Put them in the freezer... I might put some nuts in them for crunch. I used to make them with regular peanut butter and honey. Crunchy peanut butter. I'll let you know how it works.

Hi Andrea!

Another way to moisten the coconut is to soak it in unsweetened almond milk with a few drops of coconut extract.
And if you nuke it for a few seconds, it will moisten faster.

Thanks for the info, Tony.  I'm used to the soft, sweetened kind.

Add a few drops of FTS zero and you will have something close to the sweetened we are all used to

There's always more to learn!

I toast my coconut to release the oils thats softens it up too. I like to sprinkle a little on top of my cakes for texture. I do soften and sweeten it before I make my german chocolate cake.

Toasted coconut has a wonderful flavor!

Great idea, Umpa!
