The quantities in this recipe are all wrong. There is way too much coconut oil – I stopped at 90mls and added cacao nibs, more desiccated coconut and more almond meal and the mixture was still dripping with oil. I couldn’t ‘roll’ the mixture into anything as it was too wet. They were just foul and a complete waste of ingredients.
