Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream: Recipe and Giveaway!

Earlier this month I did a review of Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate. Now I've got a delicious recipe to go with it, and a giveaway!  One lucky reader will soon receive their very own jar, and I have a suggestion on how you might want to use it.

Coconut Almond Bliss Bars

Ingredients:
-2 bars (7 ounces) dark chocolate
-1/2 cup Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil
-3/4 cup Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate
-1/4 cup slivered almonds
-1/4 cup shredded coconut



Start by prepping your candy dish. I used a standard baking dish and lined it with plastic wrap. This will make it easier to remove your candy from the dish.

In a double boiler melt 1 bar (3.5 ounces) of dark chocolate and 1/4 cup Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil, stirring continuously. Pour it into your lined baking dish, give it a tap on the counter to make sure it's all settled and there are no air bubbles, then put it in the regrigerator to harden.

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate, 1/4 cup shredded coconut and 1/4 cup slivered almonds. Pour this over the hardened chocolate. Again tap the dish gently on the counter to get everything to settle evenly. Place the dish back into the refrigerator and again let it harden.

Grab your favorite spoon and clean out the bowl while you wait.

Again, in a double boiler melt the other 3.5 ounces of chocolate and 1/4 cup coconut oil. Once melted, pour the chocolate over the top of the hardened coconut cream. Again, refrigerate.

Remove the dish from the refrigerator and gently give the plastic wrap a tug. The candy will easily pop free. With a large knife cut it up into squares. It works best if you lie the knife level and give even pressure straight down. A slight rocking motion can help.

One thing to note is that these can be very melty, especially in the summer or a warm house, so you'll want to keep them refrigerated or frozen, which is all the better. You won't want them setting on the counter, tempting you.
