Around March of 2011 I stumbled across Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations and George
literally changed my life.
Here was a regular guy like me who presented killer recipes that were simple, straight forward,
and most of all fantastic to eat. I literally learned to cook by eating my way through his recipes
and I dropped about sixty pounds in the process. On top of that, Georges optimism and
compassionate nature truly are contagious.
With his recipes and exercise I built a better body but by knowing him and trying to follow his
example George built me into a better person.

A Note from George and Abel
We love desserts, and were not ashamed of it. Theres nothing like a homemade cookie.
And a delicious cookie made of nothing but real food is difficult to find these days. Take out the
dairy, the gluten, the grains, the seed oils and the rest of the non-Paleo junk and youre not left
with much.
Unless you have this cookbook, that is.
Weve got cookies, cakes, brownies heck, we even have popsicles. If this is dieting, well
take it.
Now it must be said that desserts are desserts. Theres no get out of jail free card if youre
expecting a six pack. If youre looking for killer fat loss results, treat desserts as indulgences, not
habits. Unless its Thanksgiving. That doesnt count.
We hope you enjoy these treats as much as we do. Enjoy every last mouthwatering crumble!

George and Abel

in the center of each pineapple ring and then place the remaining pineapple rings on top of the
sticks, making a sandwich with the stick in the middle. Freeze your pineapple popsicles.
When ready to make, melt your chocolate chips and coconut oil over a double boiler. Dip the
pineapple popsicles in the chocolate and then dip in the macadamia nuts and set back on your
baking sheet. Do this for all remaining pineapples.

Kiwi Popsicles
prep time: 10 minutes | cook time: 10 minutes | servings: 6-8
Ingredients
3 kiwis
1/2 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup crushed macadamia nuts
1/4 cup shredded coconut
popsicle sticks
Process
Peel your kiwis and slice into 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick rounds. Carefully pierce with a popsicle
stick and lay on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 12 hours.
Once your kiwi is ready, melt your chocolate chips and coconut oil over a double broiler. Mix in
cinnamon.
Dip your kiwi popsicles in the chocolate and then immediately dip in the topping of your choice.
The chocolate will harden relatively quickly. Immediately place popsicles back on the parchment
paper cookie sheet.
Finish off making the rest of your kiwi popsicles and topping how you please. Keep in the

Apple Pie Caveman Bars
prep time: 5 minutes | cook time: 0 minutes | servings: 8
Ingredients
2 cups dates, pitted
1/2 cup raw macadamia nuts
1/2 cup dried apples
1/4 cup raw almonds
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp cinnamon
Process
Place dates, macadamia nuts, dried apples, and almonds in a food processor or really strong
blender (I have a Ninja 1100 and it makes short work of this one). Pulse until everything is in
small chunks. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add in coconut oil and cinnamon. Using your hands mix well to ensure an even coating of
everything.
Once mixed, use parchment paper and flatten out your mixture to the size that you want your
bars to be. You can also use individual ziploc bags and form them inside the bag.
Place in refrigerator and let cool. Enjoy.
Note: If these dont taste like apple pie to you, then play with the spices; you can add some
nutmeg or cloves and mix the flavors around. The possibilities are endless but make sure you
come back and let me know what you used.
If you have a macadamia nut allergy, replace them with any nut of your choice. You can just up
the almonds. You can also roast all the nuts prior for a different flavor.

1 cup 72% or higher dark chocolate
whatever ingredients you want for a filling (examples: coconut blueberry, almond butter,
macadamia nut, strawberry, pineapple, etc.)

chocolate from burning). Brush the insides of candy molds with chocolate using a basting brush,
ensuring an even coating.

fillings of your choice.
Melt more chocolate if needed and spoon over the filling ensuring you fill them to the top and

Melt ghee in a mixing bowl in the microwave. Add almond butter to that bowl and mix well.
Return the bowl to the microwave for about 60 seconds to soften it. Mix in the salt and coconut
and ensure an even distribution of all ingredients.
Once mixed, line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and roll the dough-like
almond butter into little balls, between a half inch in size to an inch. Place on the sheet and
refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the almond butter set.
In a sauce pan over low heat or a double broiler, melt chocolate chips. Dip almond butter balls in
the chocolate (you can just dip half or the whole thing).
Place the dipped drops back on parchment paper. Refrigerate for about an hour so everything
solidifies. Remove and enjoy.
