Coconut Oil Fudge

I was thinking about a non-milk based gluten free dessert with chocolate. I surfed the Internet, and came up with the Coconut Oil Fudge.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup coconut oil 
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes

Instructions:

1. Melt coconut oil gently in microwave.
   (You might not need to if you live in Florida)
2. Stir in cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and sea salt.
3. Stir in coconut flakes.
4. Spray the wells of a mini muffin pan or a mini donut pan with cooking spray.
   (Or line a 8 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper so you can lift them out more easily.)
5. Scoop about a tablespoon of softened fudge into the wells of the pan.
   (This should make about 17 or 18 pieces,)
6. Place in the refrigerator, and let thicken for a couple of hours. 
7. Pop out of pan to serve.
   (You may need to keep these refrigerated, as they soften quickly.)

Carole's Notes:

I liked this! The mini donut pan made it a bit hard to retrieve the fudge. I think I might cool these in a bread loaf pan lined with parchment paper next time, so I can remove them easier.
