As a Belgian, I love my chocolate desserts and this is definitely one of my favorite sweet treats. Rich, creamy, 100% plant-based and oh so yum! 

When I was a small kid I always loved Oreo cookies and bounty bars. Unfortunately, these sweet treats are laced with refined sugar, preservatives, artificial flavors, and other not-so-good-for-you ingredients.

With the inspiration of my two favorite sweets in mind, this chocolate covered coconut vanilla Oreo was born. And do I need to tell you it tastes amazing and is actually good for you (if you don't eat them in one go of course ;) )

Served with a lovely cup of green tea with mint, cardamon and a hint of cinnamon, these sweets were a perfect afternoon treat.

1 1/3 cup almonds (or any other nut or a mix of nuts you like)

### For the coconut vanilla creme
--------
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 tablespoons melted extra virgin coconut oil
Vanilla extract to taste
Coconut milk until desired consistency

### For the dark chocolate cover
-------
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/3 cup coconut oil

## DIRECTIONS
------
### For the cookies
--------
1. Blend almonds (or other nuts of your choice) until powder-like. Add other ingredients and blend until homogenous mixture. Add water as needed until the mixture comes together in a ball.
2. Roll the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper until desired cookie height. Use a cookie cutter (I used the top of a cocktail mixer) to cut little rounds. Freeze until hardened.

Oh wow, I have such a weakness for Oreos! The prospect of a healthy, palm free version is VERY exciting! πŸ˜€

Same here. These even taste better to my opinion. Yeah for going palm-free is is ruining so many beautiful and pristine jungles and killing so many animals on the way. Unsafe working condition and child labor. So sad.
