CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY ALMOND BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Line a pie plate with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the raspberries and the pecans in a single layer.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons coconut oil together until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Taste, adjust, and pour the mixture over the berries in the pie plate.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons coconut oil together until smooth. Add the almond butter, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt - stir until melted. Taste, adjust, and pour the mixture over the chocolate mixture in the pan.
• Freeze for at least 30 minutes - right around the 30 minute mark they will be sturdy and solid but still awesomely semi-soft and bite-able. Cut into wedges to serve. (I stored my leftovers in the freezer and then just let them thaw a bit before eating each time.)
