Cocoa butter is from the inside of cocoa beans. Coconut oil: AKA
coconut butter is from the husk of coconuts and it *is* used in
chocolate. http://www.chow.com/stories/10709

..... hmmm, maybe coco is an abbreviation of "coconut". Idunno.
Like I said before... the stuff I used was white, hard AND labeled as
coconut oil. A Danish friend turned me on to it. I used the jar and
never replenished it because it wasn't in style to use at the time nor
has it been since then.


Here's a good one for you! I found a site tonight that stated
“Coconut oil can be blended with diesel fuel, and under certain
conditions totally replace it."
