Green Chocolate Love Bites

You've heard of Dark Chocolate, Milk chocolate and White Chocolate, but have you ever heard of Green Chocolate?? I predict that it will be coming soon to a health food store near you!

Ingredients:

Makes 7-8 Pieces

1/2 Cup of Artisana Coconut butter ( the best stuff out there)

3 Tbs Vita-mineral Green Powder (or any green powder that you love)

Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt to taste

Agave to taste

Directions:

Heat the Coconut Butter in a pan until it melts. Add the other ingredients and mix it up real good. Poor contents into silicon ice cube trays that are shaped like hearts or stars (you can buy these on amazon, just type heart shaped ice cube trays into the finder section). Let sit until it becomes solid or put it in the freezer for faster results. The green powder will naturally sink to the bottom to create two layers of color.

For some reason, macaroons always remind me of passover. So I guess that this dish is being posted just on time. Oy Vey!

3 Tbs Hazelnut Butter

3 Tbs Organic Shredded Coconut

1 Dash of Salt

Bird Food: Raw Chocolate Bars

I don't really have an adequate picture for this yet. But it seems to be the most popular of my dishes. So I will post the recipe now and take pictures later. By the way, these are highly addictive. Perhaps more so than crack. So beware.

Ingredients:

1 Dash Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt ( the secret ingredient)

3 Tbs Raw Cacao Powder

3 Tbs Coconut Oil

4 Tbs Coconut Butter

6 Tbs Agave Nectar

As much trail mix as you want... the more raisins the better.

Instructions:

Mix the Agave, Cacao Powder, Salt and trail mix. Heat Coconut Oil and Coconut Butter until melted. Then add dry and wet together and mix until it is consistent. Spread onto Aluminum foil and create a bar shape. Wrap it up so that it looks like a chocolate bar and stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Take it out of the freezer and try to share it before you eat it all yourself.
