Ready In:
To melt coconut oil, place jar in warm water, or measure 1 1/2 cups into a saucepan and warm on low heat until just about melted.
In a medium bowl, combine melted coconut oil and almond butter, stirring until blended. Whisk in both liquid stevias, agave and vanilla. Stir in stevia powder until evenly blended. Add in cinnamon and stir until evenly blended. Slowly stir in carob, 1 tablespoon at a time. The mixture should still be slightly runny. Add almond meal, hemp seeds and coconut. The mixture should still run off the spoon, but very slowly.
Spoon mixture into mini-cupcake trays, filling paper liners halfway. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes. When the candies are set, pop out of tray and store in a freezer-safe container.
