The chocolate should set quite quickly.Keep refrigerated.For the Coating:Place the cocoa powder and coconut oil in a small, microwave safe bowl. Place in the microwave and heat JUST until the oil begins to melt slightly. You don't want it to be completely liquid, just runny enough to mix in with the cacao powder.Mix the cocoa powder and coconut oil until well combined. Mix in the honey.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
