Tonight I made more chocolate, because I had some macadamia nuts to use up, or did I get the nuts so I could use up my chocolate? Hmmm
Anyway, I like to add a little cream to my chocolate. It makes it a slightly fluffy and thick, almost a pudding. Since the cream tends to clot and get a little weird when one makes this "out of order", I usually mix the cream with the cocoa before adding the oil. Tonight I didn't pay attention though and I added the oil with the cocoa before it was warmed. "Oops, I was going to add cream!" Then I thought "Hmmm, not enough cocoa anyway, better go to the store before I finish this." Then I thought again (I did a lot of thinking tonight) "Hmmm, just take a little of the oil/cocoa on the side and mix in a smidge of cream and see if it works, can't be that bad, right?" Right! I hadn't warmed the oil so the cream didn't clot, brilliant!

The Chocolate of Life
So, you've heard of the bread of life, you know about the tree of life, but did you know you've been missing out on the chocolate of life? That's it! That's the secret to life!
This is not just any chocolate, this chocolate will change your life! The life changing aspect of this chocolate is that it's made with real coconut oil. A few of the benefits of eating coconut oil daily include lowered cholesterol, weight loss, and a boosted immune system. We'll tell you more about that in another post. In the mean time, get started!
1/4 c Coconut Oil
1/4 c Cocoa Powder
Stevia (as with all stevia, start out with very little and add more as you prefer)
or Agave (about a teaspoon)
To warm the oil, we place our dish of combined ingredients in a pan or bowl of hot water. Stir well. Stir extra well if you opt for agave (since it tends to settle at the bottom).
You can put your dish right into the fridge or freezer or, as we prefer, or pour the chocolate into an ice cube tray (or candy mold).
Optional add-ins:
Nuts, nut, nuts!
Peanut or almond butter
Coconut flakes
Pretzels
Another delicious addition!
