Easter chocolate

This Easter weekend, why not try making this healthy chocolate snack.

Ingredients (measurements are approximations):

• 1 cup cocoa butter
• 1 cup coconut oil
• 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Stevia sweetener
• Mint oil (optional)
• Pure vanilla extract

Melt equal parts cocoa butter and coconut oil over low heat. You may also add some organic butter. Add the cacao powder, cinnamon, sweetener, mint oil and vanilla to the oil mixture. Stir. Pour mixture into a pan or dinner plate, or if you like, you can pour into a mold for individual chocolates. Refrigerate. Once it turns solid, crack it into pieces.

Remember, healthy fats do not stimulate insulin release, which is the primary cause of weight gain. And it isn't so much the calories as the type of calories that contribute to weight gain. I hope you enjoy this healthy snack! Happy Easter everyone!!
