After last night, who’s candy-d out?
While out this a.m. I must’ve seen a million candy wrappers.
One of the many benefits of my Vegan Peanut Butter Cups: No wrappers!
Even if you are sick of candy, you might want to find room in your tummy to make the following coconut melties. I’m obsessed with these little gems. Obsessed, people. Obsessed! They’re like shortbread bites: so melty.
Yes, I’m aware that they look like soap. But they taste like little clouds of heaven. And they’re the simplest things ever, taking only about a minute to make!
Coconut Butter Melties
- Coconut butter or Hot Chocolate Butter
- A refrigerator or (preferably) freezer
- If you prefer sweeter melties, feel free to add agave or stevia drops
- ice cube trays, candy molds, or soap molds (or spread onto wax paper)
Directions: Press the coconut butter or hot chocolate butter into the molds and fridge for at least twenty minutes OR freeze 10 minutes if you’re super-impatient like I am. Then savor these melt-in-your-mouth treats and marvel at how something so simple can taste so good!
Above is the unused mold. I found it at Hobby Lobby in the cake-decorating section. Look in Michaels, Jo-Ann, Wal-Mart, or another craft store. Or just use an ice-cube tray. (Sometimes you can find cute-shaped ice cube molds too.) Another alternative: just spread out onto wax paper and freeze like that.
Side note: You can also use Homemade Coconut Butter.
I’m giving credit to my wonderful mom for the idea. Y’see, she bought chocolate molds to make homemade chocolates for Halloween. When I saw the molds on the counter, my little fingers gravitated right towards them! And when I looked for something to “shape,” guess what was conveniently sitting out on the counter… The good old Artisana coconut butter!
You can use Christmas molds, too!
Lately, I’ve been sprinkling cinnamon into my coconut butter, for Cinnabon Melties.

Sweetie! you totally inspired me to order some Artisana coconut butter on my online shopping trip 🙂 I’ve never had it before so feel pretty excited to try it! xoxo
Katie! These look so good! Well, really they DO look like soap. But they sound good, and I’ve been meaning to make your chocolate butter anyway. Might just have to break down and do it!
these look great, great way to use up the tons of coconut oil I have. I have oil, not butter, though. But i use them pretty much interchangeable, oh I know, Im such a rebel 🙂
I made raw vegan coconut oil chocolate and I have never pressed them into a mold other than a little dish or tiny little container. I really ought to try it and make things pretty!
I do curse like a sailor. I always have. Always will, Im sure 🙂
Pretty much every single recipe on my site, including my desserts high raw/no bake desserts are ALL less than 5 ingredients. I am a mom. I have no time to be messing around with 17 ingredients, shopping for them, making sure i have them on hand, no desire, time or $$ for all that monkey business 🙂
Cute idea 🙂
Hi Katie, I decided to go vegan to not too long ago and have been dedicating a lot of posts to vegan awareness on my blog. I immidiately thought of you of course, such a fun loving vegan! If you have some time, please take a look at my ‘why vegan?’ post and tell me what you think! http://thefruitpersuit.punt.nl/#522599
love, Sabine
Awwe chocolate molds take me way back 🙂 I’m actually not candied out because I was out of town for trick-or-treat night..so I’m 200% up for making these anytime! 😀
Your question made me laugh lmho! I date a sailor!! But fortunately he doesn’t curse around me out of politeness. The last sailor I dated did, though. Every other word was f***. It.was.so.annoying.
yummy yummy i love coconut butter and i’m a sucker for anything melty :).
your soap candies are so cute! 🙂
what a great idea Katie!
Hope you had a nice Halloween!
Oh man those look good! Although, what isn’t good that involves coconut butter?
confession: sometimes i curse like a sailor and i feel bad about it and correct myself. my husband finds it hilarious when i swear
