Perfect Chocolate Delight for Phase 2 and beyond!

Coconut oil is delicious and if you haven't tried it yet on your journey then it's time to see if it's for you! Most people can continue to loose while indulging in this amazing life saver! Phase 2 limit of 2 tbs, Phase 3 limit of 4 tbs of this treat so don't go crazy... well, not too crazy! Many recipe's exist out there on the internet for how to make the perfect Cocoa Crack... mine is one of them, and you will find one that's perfect for you, so if you haven't started the kitchen with the mixin and tastin, you can start with this one!

Chocolate Crack
1/2 C Coconut oil
1/4 C Unsweetened cocoa powder
a dash of salt
Stevia equiv. of 3 tbs (more or less to taste)
Phase 3 can add 1 tsp agave nectar

The steps are very specific and must be followed or you may end up with a mess! In a small bowl melt your coconut oil in the microwave for about 40 seconds. In a separate cup place about 2 tbs of water, and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add your stevia to the hot water, and a dash of salt (agave too for you P3's!) make sure your stevia is completely dissolved and then add to the coconut oil. Stir your small bowl's contents well with a table spoon and begin to slowly add your cocoa powder, constantly stirring till all dissolved. At this point you can add your Capella drops, taste and adjust stevia sweetness. You are now ready to pour into your molds, ice cube trays, or candy forms! Let cool completely, the freezer cuts cooling time to about 20 min... now enjoy!
During your stalls, this is a great way to get your 15 macadamia nuts in, just add them in! In later days of P3 you can have fun with coconut, nuts, peanut butter, and so many other variations! I also do a killer vanilla protein CD... I'll post that one soon, for now it's back to the kitchen... have fun and remember there are calories in your finger licks!
