  1. Is there a specific kind of coconut oil that you should use? I bought some and have been using it, but then I read that some kinds of coconut oil are not good for you and I'm afraid I bought the wrong kind. Help!

  3. Has anyone tried freezing these and then cooking from frozen? That would be a super handy healthy convenience food item. I"ve reheated oopsies from frozen before but I don't know if these would get unbearably soggy while reheating.

  7. I made these Almond Joy Donuts with my wifes help and they came out fantastic. I used pecans instead of almonds and Walden Farms Chocolate instead of glaze. I also added coconut to the sprinkles. Love this...Thx Maria
