Coconut Chocolate Rose Bliss Bars

  

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.”

-William Shakespeare

 

I adore the scent, the aroma, the feel, and the flavor of rose – oh, and the sheer beauty the bloom offers in any and every way.

 

“The gentle rose offers a powerful joy known only to the heart.”

 

The rose is magical. It’s a flower, a bloom, but also a true sentiment.

 

… and a kiss of rose within RAW CHOCOLATE could not make the world any sweeter.

Exactly.

 

With bunches of Righteously Raw Cacao and Rose Bites, I had a hankering for not only ROSE delights, but coconut delights. Like a Mounds (but SO much better – oh, how can I even reference THAT?), the Righteous Vegan Chocolate Coconut Bar has me swooning just about every night – as does the subtly scented rose chocolate. 

 

Thus, I had to combine and create – something super great. (You know about all the benefits of RAW Cacao, right?
