These cocoa squares are delicious! The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent, and the coconut flour gives them a nice texture. I will definitely be making these again.

These cocoa squares were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I would try adding some more butter or oil next time.

The cocoa squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These cocoa squares were easy to make and turned out great! The coconut flour made them a bit dense, but they were still very tasty. I would definitely make them again.
