I adore coconut butter! I've never seen it in the store before, so I've always just made my own. It's very simple to make. All you need is a food processor.
The nutritional info on this is the same as the package of coconut you use. Since there are no added ingredients, just use the info from the package. Keep in mind that the measurement may change (one tablespoon of shredded coconut does not equal one tablespoon of coconut butter); but the GRAMS will stay the same (15 grams of shredded coconut=15 grams of coconut butter).

| 2 bags of UNSWEETENED coconut (to fill a 12-oz jar of coconut butter) |
 |
| Put it into the food processor |
 |
| Let it rip on high for a few minutes, then scrape down the sides |
 |
| This is after about 10 minutes |
 |
| 15-20 minutes and it's done! |
 |
| At this point, I jarred some as-is, and then added cocoa powder to the rest |
 |
| Ta-da! Coconut butter and chocolate coconut butter! |
