Paleo Chocolate Covered Coconut Cups

I love Paleo Junk Food!  It's important to remember to have these sometimes, to help with a sweet tooth, but I absolutely love to try new recipes for desserts that don't use processed sugar.  This recipe calls for honey and here in Oregon we have some fabulous local honey.  Our favorite honey is Hanna's Honey, and our favorite flavor is Meadow Foam, it tastes like marshmallows and it's to die for!

I found this recipe for here at Art and the Kitchen.  Since it didn't talk about the chocolate much, I went ahead and made a paleo chocolate to cover the top.  My coconut cups are lacking in chocolate, so if you like a lot of chocolate you need to double the chocolate part of the recipe.  These were creamy, chewy and just sweet enough to fill me up after just one.
