Bottom Shell: In a small pot Melt chocolate chips
with the coconut oil over the lowest heat
setting (mine is at 1). Stir every 2 minutes until
melted. Then set stove top to the warm setting
to keep it melted.




With a small spoon drip a thin layer of melted chocolate
into each cupcake liner



Place in freezer for 10 minutes






Filling: In the meantime mix together all ingredients for filling.
Take about 1 level teaspoon of filling
roll into ball and press down flat on spoon
until its about the size of a quarter in width
Place each piece of filling on top of hardened
chocolate layer.



Topper Shell: Once finished use small spoon
to drip more chocolate over the top until filling
is covered.

Put in freezer again for another 15 minutes.

Store in Fridge in ziplock bag or in cookie jar, will melt at 73 degrees... only draw back.
