coconut oil

Hi guys and girlies,

Can you help me find an alternative to coconut oil in refrigerated bars. It seems that many recipes call for coconut oil or cocoa butter where there is a need for solidification (if thats a word). But what can i use instead?

Thanks,

You could use Tahini. It thickens when chilled, but not as solidly as cacao butter or coconut oil.

Thanks to all who've been in touch....sorry for delay in getting back to you - had trouble logging into account. I dont want to have coconut oil due to its saturated fat content so any substitute that hasnt saturated fat is what im looking for. But then, its the fat that makes it solid at room temp isnt it! The tahini sounds a good idea, and the nectar.

Thank you x x
