Ok so everyone has a sweet tooth of some sort, and one of mine is chocolate covered stuff. It can be nuts, fruits etc. I don’t care, I love them all! But since going paleo I have noticed that buying that kind of stuff in the stores is EXPENSIVE!!!! So I never buy it. I just can’t justify spending that much on a little package that will be devoured before I can count to 5. I don’t keep sweets in the house (even before going paleo) because let’s face it, if it’s there you will eat it. so why tempt yourself?? Anyways, that’s where todays recipe comes from. I refused to buy them, so I will just make them on my own! This is so easy, even caveman can do it. Get that? Paleo, caveman lol ok I know it’s corny but WHATEVER! 🙂
ingredients
15 drops liquid stevia
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp raw honey
12 oz raisins (usually standard package size)
2 tbsp cocoa powder (higher quality and darker, the better)
1/4 cup coconut oil
directions
1. in a saucepan on medium heat, melt the coconut oil, and whisk in cocoa powder, vanilla, stevia, and honey.
2. when this is totally blended, turn off the heat.
3. stir in the raisins and mix completely
4. on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spoon out clusters of the mixture
5 stick in the freezer until hard
After frozen you can place the raisins in a tupperware container, make sure to store in the fridge or freezer to avoid it melting. Coconut oil melts VERY easy and will then make this treat quite messy to eat 🙂
