Some times we just need something sweet. These salty caramel bars are my new sweet obsession. Loaded with healthy ingredients providing you with the added benefit of antioxidants, magnesium, healing medium chain fatty acids, protein and so much more you can enjoy without feeling guilty.
My favourite way to have these is straight out of the freezer! So delicious.

1/2 cup coconut cream**
1/2 cup coconut oil

**Place coconut milk in fridge for a couple of days. Open can and scoop out cream.
