Then make your own! I've been making my own chocolate for a few years now and it tastes so natural and fresh! This recipe is for all those dark chocolate lovers (and milk chocolate lovers too) out there.
The recipe is really simple and this chocolate can be broken into chips and added to cookie recipes (stay tuned for some delicious cookie recipes).
1/2 C Coconut oil
1/2 C Cacao powder
1/2 C Maple syrup (or agave nectar however I find that the maple syrup isn't as sweet!)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 C Chopped almonds (or any other nut of choice)
(Optional-if you love mint chocolate, add a tsp of peppermint extract. If you love lots of goodies in your chocolate, you can also add sunflower seeds, dried cranberries etc.)
Blend liquid ingredients until super smooth. You can add more sweetener or more chocolate to suit your tastes.
Transfer mixture to separate bowl and stir in chopped almonds. (Feel free to add other goodies...coconut, berries, etc)
Spread on a plastic wrap lined plate or dish and place in freezer to cool.
About Me
- Zoe
- Being fit for almost my entire life and spending most of it in the weight room and outside I decided to try something new in August 2010. It is called Crossfit! And boy has it changed me. I heart Crossfit and it will always be a BIG part of my life. I spend about 80% of my waking thoughts and actions on it because it has transformed my mind and body. I am also very passionate about nutrition, having studied and practiced it for over 10 years. Because of crossfit I have discovered a way to eat that has had an amazing impact on my life...and that is the Paleo Diet. I created this blog to help educate those about the paleo diet in hopes that I can help people make lifestyle changes one meal at a time!
