Fat is the new sugar. And with that transition comes a shift from sweet to more savory palates. Does that mean dessert goes out of style? Hardly. When you get a hankering for chocolate, simply reach for more fat. Coconut is one of the bests of the bunch and makes a fine, no-fuss treat once you mix it with raw cacao and creamy cashew butter. With such real, wholesome ingredients, these no-bake treats beat an old-fashioned candy bar any day.
