Homemade Coconut Butter Is Easier To Make Than You Think. And You Should Really Make Some.

Everyone needs this in their fridge.

The biggest benefit to cooking at home is the amount of money you can save. For the same price as a nice dinner out, you can eat for a week with home-cooked meals. Case in point: store-bought coconut butter vs. homemade coconut butter. A jar of coconut butter can easily set you back seven-plus bucks, when for just a couple of dollars you can make your own with nothing more than a bag of shredded coconut and a food processor.

That might not sound like a big deal to those of you who don't know about the wonder of coconut butter, but for everyone else that's privy to how great this stuff is spread on toast, baked into cookies, or just spooned from the jar, well, this here's for you.

The best part is that this recipe is easy. Stupid easy. Zero culinary skill required easy. Get it here. And live in coconut bliss.
