macaroony babies! ha love it! you have the best ideas, i have all the ingredients so i must make these raw macaroons soon, artisana coconut butter = love 🙂

Eliza

You know I’m on board to make these! I already have coconut butter, but I need more dates (making all those fudge babies has drained my supply!) Can’t wait for tomorrow’s post! 🙂

what is the difference b/w coconut butter and coconut oil?
i have oil but have not seen butter…

not gonna lie — I have been crazing samoas like no other now that girl scout cookie season is upon us — but your little macaroon babies are a more than worthy replacement 🙂 come up with a recipe to cure my thin mint woes, please?! 😉

Nice…so when are you going to start making these (and other fudge baby varieties) in mass quantity and selling them?!?!?!?!

There’s no way those aren’t amazing! The CCP Lara definitely is one of the best, so way to go by making it homestyle. Still have yet to pick up some coconut butter but I’m just DYING to try it.

I am drooling. I can’t wait to see the recipe for the Mounds bars!

Ok Sweetie, again your treats look amazing! Lucky I just got back from whole foods with a jar of coconut oil and it is Screaming Vegan Macaroons!!

You are too funny…your posts make me smile Doll!

I hope you are having a great day!

you know i love macaroons 😀
i can’t wait to try your version- it looks amazing! i’m very excited for those mounds babies!

Hmm I’m not a coconut person but those look good enough to convert me!

Macaroony Babies, yeah! 🙂

I will definitely mention Operation Chocolate-Covered Kindness on my new blog soon (whenever I get off my lazy butt and start it!)

Katie, I am amazed at how you make all of these creations with dates… I cannot keep dates in my house for longer than 24 hours!! My husband and I devour them within seconds, we are so addicted. I can never keep enough around!

Mounds bar sounds awesome – I also love to make raw, vegan “Almond Joy” bars by blending 3 c. almond meal, 6 T cocoa powder, 7 or 8 T. agave nectar, a splash of almond extract and a pinch of salt! 🙂

I am SOO partaking in makin me some macaroon babies. In fact, I think I’ll give it a shot during my self-care cooking session tomorrow 🙂

Have a fabulous evening, prettyyy!
Rebecca

coconut and chocolate are perfect.

ooh. ginger macaroons should make an appearance;)
i will be ze motha!

Wait … is coconut butter the same as coconut oil? If yes, then I do have the chance to make this!

You are just one busy lady makin’ all these babies I tell ya–do I see and Katie as in the new John&Kate? Lol!

yum yum yum!!!

You know I whole-heartedly approve of anything delicious and coconut. I don’t know if I could bare to use up any of my beloved coconut butter in one, but you never know.

I would eat the coconut butters by whipping up your raw macaroon recipe. I’ve never eaten raw before and I just think it would be so so so yummy and exciting.

I think I would love to try making cashew cookie babies. Who am I kidding, if I won your contest I would have to make one of each flavour. And then use the remaining coconut butter to recreate that coconut pie you spoke so highly of.

I would find a million different ways to use this- but I would most likely be eating it straight-up on toast 🙂

My favorite way to use the nut butters would be as a topping for oatmeal!

I definately would be making some raw mac’s…. definitely one of my favorite desserts! Or almond joy fuge babies…

I have been drooling over your raw macaroon and almond joy babies, so I would definitely try those out if I got my hands on some of that coconut butter.

i would use this in a sandwich w/ almond butter….on oatmeal, macaroons and mannnnnny more ways

I would use the coconut butter in banana oatmeal. Of course I would ‘melt’ the banana first, and prolly have to add some of that cocao bliss! Super YUM!

I just made my first batch of Babies yesterday and these nut butters would def. go into some experiements with those tasty nibbles!

What wouldn’t I do with the nut butters? Raw mounds bars most likely.

With the coconut butter/oil I would obviously make raw macaroons! I would eat the cashew butter with a spoon 🙂

No question, my first thing would be some coconut babies!! I’ve been drooling over them since you first posted, there’d be no excuse not to then!

I would make raw macroon babies and eat it out of the jar.

I would definitely make the raw Mounds – perhaps turning them into Almond Joys! I also love using coconut oil in baking and thai stir fries or curries, would love to see how coconut butter would fare in those as well. Or in my morning oatmeal! Oh boy, excited.

I would make the raw Mounds with Almonds for my sister – those were her FAV chocolate bars growing up. Perfect stocking stuffer

I would definitely be enjoying a spoonful a day of coconut butter =) so simple and delicious. And I would also try out some of your macaroon babies…and cookie dough babies, and all the other yummy recipes here. mmmm.

i’d try the mounds bar of course, and maybe try it in oat bran, too!

I have been really interested in experimenting with coconut oil! I would try substituting coconut oil in some of my favorite vegan desserts! I would also try the mounds bars adding almonds!!!!!!!!!

Nutbutters on oats, oh yes!

I would definitely use the nut butters in my oatmeal and for sandwiches. Oh, and for dipping in a spoonful and eating it straight like that!

Oh man, macademia nut butter sounds amazing! But I’ve heard great things about cooking with coconut oil, I’d love to try it!! Maybe a veggie stir fry to start things off?!!

I have so many uses for these butters swirling around in my head (sauces, treats, dips, w/ fruit, plain….), but mostly I want to share them with my family so they can taste the deliciousness of nutritious raw nut butters! Especially my little brother who will only eat peanut butter and even then he “prefers” skip and jiffy because they are “real” peanut butter. I just know I could win him over with these nut butters and the raw goodies I would create.

I would eat the nut butters straight out of the jars because I love them that much!!

Haha, the person above me has the same answer as me: straight outta the jar! I guess I might try to restrain myself and put it on toast…

I would add the butters to my morning smoothies..creamy, nutritious, delicious!

I would love to try some of these (and other) raw recipes using coconut butters. They look so completely decadent. I just got Ani’s Raw Desserts…which looks amazing, too. Can’t wait to try them!

oh my gosh my mouth is watering haha! well ive tried the coconut butter and i love it mixed with banana soft serve and almond butter!!! but id eat the other nut butters plain as well, with a spoon! so delicious

I can think of so many ways to use these- baked into cookies, mixed into raw homemade larabars… but i would most likely drop a huge spoonful into my oatmeal every morning! thanks katie!

I have never had a a nut butter other than peanut butter and coconut butter and coconut oil are so rare to find in my small town that I haven’t tried them either so there would be much experimenting! I think the first thing I would do is to have a big spoonful of each 😉

I would put them in a smoothie, most likely 🙂

I would love to spread any and probably all these nut butters on toast as well as use them for homemade larabars. Mmm….delicious.

This recipe is awesome, but I think I’d have to add almond extract and maybe some orange zest! Can’t wait to try them!

I would love to use these to make fudge babies, in smoothies, and in my oats!

After eating half the jar from a spoon, I’d probably eat the rest with my oatmeal or on toast.

With all that wonderful nut butter, I’d probably make nut-butter filled chocolate cups! Or anything with a mix of nut butter/dates/cocoa powder…YUM!!

I would first eat it with a spoon then spread it on apples or banana! 🙂

If I win the giveaway I would eat the butters straight outta the jar 😉 mm mm mmmm

In my oats, mmm mmm good!

I would probably lick them right off a spoon… yumm 🙂

Wow! I would make raw oatmeal nut butter raisin cookies with 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup dates, 2 T. nut butter, 1/4 cup raisins all blended in the food processor!

I would eat the nut butter on toast and straight from the jar!

I would eat these with bananas and apples and berries! So much fruit and yummy nut butters!

I would spread them on some yummy dark chocolate! YUM

I think I’d eat it straight from the jar! Then, I’d think of some way to eat it that was a little less embarrassing … 😉

First, I would take a spoon and sample each one. Obviously! Gotta get a feel for my new tools. Then I think I would get straight to work on some Fudge babies, which I’ve been dreaming about for quite awhile now.

Definitely a splash of butter in the morning oats, but obviously my first use would have to be for whipping up a batch of the babies!!

If I win would be making mound bar babies galore!
Thanks for the recipes and the giveaway =]

Hmm if I were to win I’d totally jump on one of your fudge baby recipes, except I’d probably mess up in the process! In the mornings I always have such a hard time thinking of good, healthy breakfasts that will keep my brain going at college, I would probably put some on a whole grain waffle or toast with 100% fruit spread…and some more fruit of course. I’m a fruit freak.

Or I’d just eat them off of a spoon because that’s the cool way to do it . . . if I love it enough I’ll marry them, to quote the famous philosopher Pee Wee Herman: “If you love it so much why don’t you marry it?”

If I won the nut butters, I would would put it to good use by making these raw macaroons and the different fudge/cocoa babies recipes that are posted on your site for my family. I’ve trying to adopt a more vegan/raw food lifestyle to take better care of my health and I want to get my family to do the same. They are a bit skeptical but I think the nut butters and some time spent in the kitchen working on these awesome recipes will do the trick! 🙂

Gosh, nut butta is gooood on anything. I’ve never tried Artisana brand before, but i can tell that they are just heaven in the mouth!!! I’m thinkin right now I’d like to mix the butters with pasta, mmmmmm. Can anyone say chocolate pasta. Drool…..Anyway, I be dreaming up some more ideas tonight as I sleep. Oh, oh on pineapple too..hmmmm 🙂

I’d add the nut butters to my morning cereal, yum!

I would use the coconut butter as a sub for butter in my Christmas cookie baking!

I’d probably use these butters to add some character to my banana smoothies. Nothing like a good butter to liven up a banana-soymilk smoothie!

I would love to win all the nut butters — I would use them in oatmeal and also make some yummy raw treats for my 3 kids — they would LOVE them 🙂 Thanks so much for an awesome giveaway!!

I would like to use the nut butters to make fudge babies and also would just have plain ole’ spoonfuls of the nut butters :)…..so good!

i would definitely use the nut butters for desserts (aka every kind of chocolate-covered dessert there is!) fudge babies anyone?!

it would be great, since i have a dairy intolerance, its hard to find desserts i can indulge in!

I just want to eat them with a spoon! Is that acceptable? haha

I would mostly use them on top of my oats…or straight out of the jar….. 🙂

straight out of the jar, in oats, or on waffles! 😀 I hope I win!

I love coconut and pineapple so I’d make some pina colada “fudge” babies, maybe with a little lime zest thrown in

nut butters in oats!!!

I don’t even know where to start! There are way too many options. I love cashew butter simply spread on toast or good bread, or mixed into oatmeal. It’s really good with exotic jellies like my guava, or the latest addition from world market- orange ginger 🙂
I’d have to make some coconut babies of course and then just try it on toast or with cereals too. I use coconut oil for baking (though I have to admit to trying it with a spoon numerous times :X)
I think the cacao bliss could be mixed with my orange ginger jelly to make some amazing choco orange babies! :0!!
Ok well I’ll stop before I get carried away with all the great recipes I’ll invent.

Hope I win! 😀

I would definitely eat it out of the jar then make some “babies”! 🙂

I’d mix it into oatmeal 🙂

I would like to say I’d do all sorts of creative things with the artisana butters, but I’d probably just eat them straight out of the jar or on toast. Maybe in a smoothie if I were feeling really feisty.

Honestly, I’d probably just eat the nut butters with a spoon. But to get fancy, I’d mix it with cereal and a chopped apple. My fav type of crunchy/fruity parfait 🙂

I would make the raw macaroons and add chocolate…lots of chocolate 😉

i’d love to try those macaroons! and i would also eat them with my oatmeal in the morning, or drizzled over coconut milk ice cream… yum.

If I win I’m going to be all over Mounds Babies!

I’ve been eyeing these butters for a while but they’re a little expensive. I’d like to add them to my oatmeal 🙂

Macaroons all day everyday! And larabars, and oats, and spreads, and lotion, the possibilities are endless!

How would I use this stuff? In my daily morning bowl of oats, slathered on apples, straight off the spoon (my favorite bedtime snack), drizzled on roasted veggies and fruit, probably more off the spoon than I would like to admit…

All the items look amazing!

I would love to make the Babies!

I would make it with one of your Babies!!! Yum!

oh, well that’s easy – raw mounds bar. yum!

if I win the artisana giveaway I plan to slather the nut butters all over bananas and apples, and maybe even eat some straight out of the container!

i would definitely make lots of nut butter and banana sandwiches! probably every day for lunch at work! yum!

I’m in love with homemade bread toasted with nut butters and a banana! Spice it up with some cinnamon or drizzled agave on top. Another way I’d use the nut butters is in my morning oatmeal!!! MMMMMmmmm…:)

If I won the give away (fingers crossed!) I would be all over those Macaroon babies. They look amazing! and if they’re related to your others babies, I know they’ll be super good!

I would make the coconut macaroons and the mounds. yum!

I LOVE coconut and cashew butter on cereals, especially oats, kashi, and muesli. Makes a great breakfast or on-the-go dinner! I’d love the cacao butter on apples or pears, too.
I’ve only ever tried the cashew butter I’ve made, and I love Artisana coconut butter – It would be great to try their cashew and see how mine measures up!

I would really love to make some delicious almond/peanut/sunflower butter fudge with it! Oh, it sounds so good..

I would definitely make your macaroons. If I don’t win, I might just have to buy my own and make them anyway, because they look so good and easy to do!

Holy Yum….. I would glob some butter on these awesome macaroons! Wow they look tasty!

I’d like to use the Artisana products for fudge babies…which I would eat with banana soft serve!

I would eat the nut butter whipped into a silken tofu pudding using a hand blender…so simple and creamy

I will be making me some babies with that nut butter! and I’m not prejudiced… every baby will have their turn finding their way to mama’s tummy. I’ve been reading your blog for the past month or so and have yet to make a baby! My husband is coming home from a work trip tomorrow so maybe I will give him a lesson in making babies! Dessert, that is! 😉

omigosh i am dying to eat them with oatmeal! i see all these wonderful pictures of oatmeal art and i can’t wait to make my own bowl! i know for sure it’s going to include dark chocolate, banana and hopefully some nut butter!!

Mmm…nut butters…truly, is there anything better? I’m a big fan of eating them by the spoonful, but I really want to try those raw macaroons!

I would bake some fantastic cookies!

once again you’ve come up with an awesome recipe. i used to love mounds bars as a kid, but since going vegan, i kinda gave up on them. can’t wait to try these 🙂

Love to try it on all sorts of fruit!!!

Oh boy, I’d probably use all these butters for some cookies 🙂

I would love to make these lara-type bars with the butters if I won them. YUM

A couple of weeks ago I made my first batch of Almond Butter Pumpkin ‘brownies’ and they were so good. I would love to experiment with other squash purees and nut butters!

I’m made raw coconut and chocolate balls before and love them. Would love to try more raw deserts and bars. 🙂

So if I won these nut butters, first of all my oatmeal would get a whole new plethora of makeovers! Second, my options of babies would increase … hmmm … third, I would make a killer NutellaBU (HEAB) and (enter any nut butter won) sandwich! Fourth, My fruit would have a new nutty or coconutty twist! Fifth, have you ever tried this stuff over popcorn?
So many things I’d like to try! Enter me enter me!! 🙂 And Thanks for doing cool giveaways like this!! 🙂

I’d definitely eat this on toast or a muffin!

I’d love to make all sorts of yummy “babies”

Oh, Pina Colada Baby would be 1st !! Then a banana hammock, lol….. Love that !!!!

Yummy macaroons! If I won, I’d probably make those or some coconut banana butter. You’re kind of a genius!

Want those butters to use as icings for muffins and cupcakes and spoons!

After taste testing everyone of those jars, I’d start mixing the butters into lots of baby flavors! I think I also need to drizzle some over my morning flax waffle with cooked apples. Mmmmm

If I win those nut butter, I’ll be making some coconut babies and fudge babies and coconut babies and cashew babies and coconut babies and also some coconut babies.

can you tell i love coconut? i’m dying to try the coconut butter especially! it looks amazing.

Raw vegan mounds bars sound like my dream snack! YUM!

I think I would try my hand at some creative asian stir fry sauces. I love peanut sauce, but i have a hunch that cashew sauce with pad thai noodles would be rich and delicious!

If I won…
Spoon meet Nut Butters, Nut Butters meet Spoon (and Tummy!)
😀

If I got the coconut butters, I’d whip up some recipes with…

Coconut-orange macaroons
or
Coconut-vanilla macaroons

This would be an awesome giveaway to win!

I would love to try out the nut butters. Before baking some sort of cookie concatenation, I would definitely just bite into coconut-butter covered bread. YUM!

I would love to put the nut butters in my morning smoothies!

My husband would die for these for Christmas. If I win, I’ll definitely make them for him for his stocking!

how wouldn’t I use these nut butters??! definitely to make some baking and “babies.” and eaten off a spoon…in smoothies…on apples…

If I won the nut butters, I would eat them on toasted baguette (mmm!), try making no-bake cocoa-oat-nut butter cookies, and blend them with fruit in smoothies!

I looooove nut butters melted over a hot bowl of oat bran! But I would love to try my hand at making the babies too!!

This is my second guess (I still think my other one is right) as to today’s mystery picture. We’ll see!

I don’t think this looks quite right, but I’ll make this another guess for the scale entries!

mmm I love coconut! I need to make these babies NOW! And as part of your vita-mix giveaway, I would definitely try my hand at some sort of piña colada ice cream 🙂

aw…this are soooo delicious, and macaroons have to be like the best name for these…they remind me of the word ‘croon’ which is just an amazing word all by itself. hmmm, so, i’m entering the vitamix giveaway, which i would use to create green juices!!!! and green smoothies!!!! and thanks so much for hosting this giveaway, i love your blog =)

Thanks for the opportunity! The first thing I’d make if I won the Vita-Mix would be Heather’s Protein Icecream from the HangryPants blog.

I’d love a Vita-Mix to try and make some creative nut butters!

I’m crossing my fingers 🙂

Darnit! The only ingredient I’m missing to make these babies is the coconut butter. After seeing your carrot cake ones just now I’m like.. gotta have these O_O lol

XO

The raw mounds look so0o0o good! I’d also try using some as a lotion 😉

I will use my new coconut oil to make lots and lots of MOUNDS!!

Enter me please!!!

Entering the contest because I’ve made these before with subs, but I think they’d be freaking amazing with coconut butter (though they are delicious any way you roll them!)

im entering the coconut butter giveaway with this entry- this recipe sounds delish!

These look so good- I love Artisana coconut butter! It actually makes everything better, and I agree with you that it tastes like shortbread. I love that it is also 100% whole food, raw coconut with nothing added or taken away. If I can get my hands on some coconut butter, I will definitely be making your raw macaroons.

I finally got a jar of Coconut Butter and I’ve been wanting to make these…
too bad I almost have EATEN THE WHOLE JAR. SOB. I also have taken to just eating it straight up. Soooo good. I’ve been making butternut squash fries lately, though, and wonder about eating them with the butter on like you do. Hrm. I typically do kosher salt and fresh ground pepper for savory fries… but cinnamon/nutmeg sprinkled fries with coconut butter sounds good too!

I hope I win the jar since mine is almost gone. The horror!

I think the raw macaroons sound the best!

I’m a sucker for a macaroon, so these are definitely the best!

I love macaroons and have been wanting to try raw ones. I would love to win the Artisana giveaway so I can try making them myself!

Would love to try some of these recipes with Coconut Butter, but can’t find them in stores near me (Mississauga, ON Canada). Specially love macroons. !

Thank you for these delectable recipes that are a healthy treat – I can indulge in jubilant moderation as a Type II Diabetic, burgeoning Vegan, and losin’ the last 20-lbs. warrior. I <3 Macaroons!

These look and sound delicious… I love coconut!

I would LOVE to win the coconut butter because 1. I LOOOOOVE coconut, 2. I’m too poor to actually order anything from Artisana, 3. I *tried* to make homemade coconut butter a while ago and I no longer have a food processor….she’s buried in the back yard now 🙁 4. Did I mention I love coconut?

If I won I would make these babies right away!

MMM I love coconut!!

Oh.my.yum. these look & sound delicious, I can’t wait to try them & I won’t even feel guilty for eating them cos they’re so healthy 🙂
