Chocolate Covered Cocomel Bites – Vanilla

Aromatic vanilla and Cocomels creamy, dairy-free coconut milk caramel rolled in 60% smooth dark chocolate, create a blissful and mouthwatering flavor. These little, bite sized confections contain only 1.6 g of sugar per piece without sacrificing an irresistibly delicious experience. Cocomels are plant based, gluten free, Certified Organic, Non-GMO verified, and free of corn syrup and shiny glazes.

<p>Coconut milk is ultra creamy and <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/coconut-cream-vs-coconut-milk" target="_blank">completely versatile</a>. (It also happens to be an all-star vegan and dairy-free ingredient.) It’s made by simmering raw, grated coconut flesh in water, and the consistency is remarkably similar to cow’s milk. We’re not kidding about the versatility, either. You can use it in sweet preparations like ice cream, cakes, whipped cream, and caramels (see below!) as well as savory dishes like curries, soups, and sauces. It’s super easy to pop open a can and pour, but you can also take the DIY approach by blending one part shredded coconut to one part water, then straining the mixture through a cheesecloth.</p> 
<h2>The History of Cocomels</h2>



<p>JJ Rademaekers started a company called JJ’s Sweets in 2010, by selling homemade treats at local farmers’ markets in Boulder, Colorado. The idea actually came to him in a dream a year earlier, where he clearly saw someone who resembled Willy Wonka creating new candies that were healthier than conventional options. That was Rademaekers’ cue to get into the kitchen. He blended his passion for cooking with his training as a scientist, and soon, JJ’s Sweets was launched. Cocomels—his line of coconut milk caramels—followed in 2014.</p>
<h2>Cocomels Company Mission</h2>


<p>Cocomels makes one thing: coconut milk chocolates. It’s part of the brand’s original vision to develop delicious yet wholesome treats sourced from natural ingredients. Everyone on the team is motivated to see candy evolve into an indulgence that won’t set you back from a health perspective, or make you feel guilty about enjoying it.</p> 
<h2>Benefits of Cocomels</h2>

<p>Cocomels takes dessert to new heights by using coconut milk as its key ingredient—not cream—which means every bite is deliciously dairy-free and vegan. All of Cocomels treats also USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. Plus, you can enjoy all the benefits of coconut milk, which contains the saturated fatty acids medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), believed to support a healthy metabolism and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874190/"target="_blank">may support weight loss</a>. Another reason to incorporate coconut oil into your diet? Helping balance cholesterol levels. In a <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3824402/"target="_blank">study</a> of 60 volunteers comparing the health benefits of coconut milk to soy milk, researchers found that “coconut milk raises the HDL levels while reducing the LDL.”</p>
