Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • – 3 tbsp unsweetened raw organic cacao
  • – about 6 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • – sliced almonds

Method
 

  1. Put parchment paper on top of cookie sheet to cover surface.
  2. – Melt the coconut oil in a bowl.
  3. – Mix in cacao and coconut.
  4. – At this point, add sweetener of choice (just a little at a time, try it to make sure it’s not too sweet). I skipped this point, but recognize that it could’ve used a little something sweet. The raw cacao isn’t sweet.
  5. – Pour the mix over parchment paper Swish it around slowly until it’s a thin layer.
  6. – Sprinkle sliced almonds all over top.
  7. – Put cookie sheet in freezer for 30 minutes.
  8. – Get it out and it should be solid by now.
  9. – Crack the chocolate into smaller, bite-size pieces.
  10. – Keep in an air-tight container in the freezer.
  11. – Enjoy. 😀
