Coconuts are fuzzy and hard to eat. But, the truth is that if you can find a real big rock and crack one open, you’ll get real wet from coconut milk. Nobody told me and now my shirt is ruined. Anyways, if you take that delicious coconut meat from the inside, you’ve got yourself one of the delicious ingredients for my Sweet & Salty Almond Butter Coconut Delights. Whip up a batch tonight and don’t forget to bring a towel!
