RECIPE: Diet Chocolate!

Diet Chocolate
This recipe can help you get through those chocolate cravings without setting you back on your diet. I purchased some "easy out" ice cube trays to use as chocolate forms. They are small ice cube trays with rubber bottoms that make pushing the chocolate out really easy.

Ingredients:
1 Cup Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder
1 Cup Coconut Oil
3/8 Teaspoon Sweet Leaf Stevia

Directions:
Melt the coconut oil in a microwave oven, 1 minute on high should do the trick. Slowly stir in cocoa powder and stevia. Pour into mini ice cube trays or chocolate forms and freeze for about 1 hour until firm.

Variations:

• 1/8 Teaspoon of Mint Extract. Mint dark chocolate...yum.
  
• Nuts: chopped macadamia nuts or almonds or pecans.
  
• 1/8 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  
• Substitute 1/2 the cocoa with non dark cocoa
  

Notes: This chocolate will melt quickly in a warm room, keep it refrigerated. Make sure you thoroughly mix the cocoa into the oil, the faces people make when they get raw clumps of dark cocoa are priceless but really ruin the experience if you are the person eating it.
