Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil

- Heat a small pot over low heat. Add all of your ingredients and whisk until the coconut oil is melted and everything is well incorporated. (This should only take about a minute.)
- Once smooth, take the sauce off the heat and pop into the freezer for 1-2 minutes, just to let it thicken - don't let it harden!

- EAT UP.
I’m generally not a fan of the fruit + chocolate combo. Like, I HATE chocolate bars with raspberries or orange in it. I just want some pure, unadulterated chocolate. But then, about once a year I get a huge hankering for real fruit with that fruit chocolate melted all over it. I guess that once a year hankering was this week ’cause this was YUM. Plus, the addition of almond butter gives it a unique flavor and a *smidge* of protein. So it makes a great after school or just life snack. I’m all about it!
Now that the sauce talk is out of the way, here are some things you should read/watch this week…
