Chocolate Bark

4 T. (1/4 cup) Virgin Coconut Oil
1-1.5 T. Cocoa Powder
1/4 t. lowcarb sweetner, such as stevia
2 oz nuts (optional)

Melt the coconut oil to a liquid, add in cocoa powder and sweetener. Stir to combine and blend well.

Blend nuts into chocolate mixture (Optional)

Have chlled a metal bakeware lasagna or cake pan or pans in freezer for 10 minutes or so. Remove from freezer and line with waxed paper. Then pour mixture into chilled pan and spread to desired thickness.

Pop in refrigerator or freezer on level shelf and let sit 10 minutes or so. It will harden quickly and breaks with a snap.

You stopped your supps Angel...could this craving mean that you are needing your magnesium? There is research to support this thought.

Neat. A word of warning about Stevia. There are two different types of it sold in stores - stevia solution and stevia extract. The extract is *much* stronger than the solution (which is diluted). Be sure you know which one your using or the recipe will be sickeningly sweet.

I wonder if they sell Carob powder as an alternative to the cocoa powder?

Good to know that Bernard. I have yet to try cooking with Stevia. I have been using raw unprocessed sugar.
