Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil (or any solid healthy fat)
- 1 cup cocoa
- 3 Tbsp xylitol (see notes above for alternative sweetners)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil over a very low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in carob, sweetener, and vanilla. (If you heat over too high of a heat or don't remove from the heat, the coconut oil will separate from the carob when cooling. You can still eat it, but it won't be as smooth.)
- Pour mixture into a pan (8x8 works well).
- Place in refrigerator or freezer until solid. Remove from pan, and cut into chunks of desired size with a good, solid knife.
- Store in a cool place such as the fridge until ready to use.
