Question Cocoa Butter

I need to find a suitable replacement for cocoa butter for use on ribbon sponge. Columbus, GA is not the mecca of cooking and resources are very limited. Can't even find almond flour! Since cocoa butter is used to keep the sponges pliability and no cocoa butter to be found, I need some other substitute. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool

If the cocoa butter is only for texture you can use butter, shortening or other hard fats. Flavor replacement could be tricky, try white chocolate and less sugar in recipe.
As for almond flour, you can process your own in a food processer.
