Recipe for healthy chocolate

Ingredients

• Extra dark chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar with 70-85% cocoa content -- this minimizes the sugar content)
• 4 or 5 tbsp of organic nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter or peanut butter, omitted if prefer plain chocolate)
• 2/3 to 3/4 cup of organic coconut milk (source of healthy saturated fats)
• 2 tbsp rice bran (healthy fiber source)
• 2 tbsp oat bran (healthy fiber including soluble fiber)
• 1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds or walnuts (healthy fats, antioxidants together with other vitamins/minerals)
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A little stevia to lightly sweeten (stevia is a natural non-caloric sweetener as opposed to harmful artificial sweeteners)

Preparation:

• Start with the coconut milk, nut butter and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the lowest heat possible.
• Continuously stir as the chocolate, coconut milk and nut butter melt together. Once these melt, add in all of the other ingredients and stir together very well.
• Once everything is mixed well together, spread the mixture onto some waxed paper laid out in a baking dish and throw it in the fridge to solidify.

Although it is healthy, you still have to keep your serving portions small because this is a calorie-dense snack.
