Now I know this is a big claim, but I have many testimonials that it truly is the best! I spent a long time getting the ratios of coconut oil to coconut butter just right and think I have nailed it! Its velvety, perfect balance of sweet and bitter and quite frankly, so delicious, I have had to stop myself from making it because I devour it too quickly!
If you try it, let me know what you think.
Enjoy!
