Cherry ripe is an Australian candy; feeling homesick today. This recipe is sugar-free, gluten-free, but not taste-free and certainly not berry free! —vanessa green

According to the directions the recipe requires 2 cups of coconut oil but only 1 is listed in the ingredient list. Is it two cups or should it be 1/2 cup for each of the chocolate layers?

HI nycnomad. Sorry for the typo - there's only 1 cup coconut oil total, 1/2 cup in each choc layer
