COCO LOCO BARK

Looking for a healthy sweet treat?  This is a favorite of mine!  Filled with good for you fats...What's not to love? Better yet this is a very low glycemic option that won't spike your blood sugar and leave you needing a nap.  A word of warning, this is highly addictive!

This recipe can't be screwed up.  All the ingredient ratios are not exact because I just eyeball it and make it to my taste liking.   As always, feel free to get creative and add or subtract ingredients.

COCO LOCO BARK


Ingredients:
-8 oz. Coconut Butter
-2 tblsp. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
-1/4 cup Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
-1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Nibs
-1/2 tsp. Tahitian Vanilla Bean
-1 tsp. Cinnamon
-1 tblsp. Raw Honey (optional)
-scant of Celtic Sea Salt

Directions:
1. Melt 8oz. of Coconut Butter.  Be careful to not burn Coconut Butter, it melts quickly.  You are looking for        
    a creamy consistency.
2. Mix in remaining ingredients and stir.
3. Spread onto anything flat (ex. baking sheet, plate).  About 1/4 inch thick.
4. Put into freezer for 15-20 min. to harden.
5. Remove from freezer and break into pieces.

ENJOY!  Eat Well & Be Happy!

I store any leftover bark in the freezer.  Usually it doesn't make it that far:) ...it's that good!
