Since starting the Paleo lifestyle, I have had some pretty strong cravings for chocolate. I started experimenting with cocoa powder and coconut oil to make a freezer chocolate. While it satisfied my cravings, I wanted something a little more.
Through a trial and error processes I came up with this. Oh my goodness, it is so good! I even told my husband (who is also participating in the Paleo lifestyle and has an even bigger sweet tooth than I) that I have no idea why anyone would want to eat commercial chocolate that is full of preservatives and added sugars when they can have this healthy treat! Honestly, I’m never going back to junk food again.

Directions
- Melt entire bag if chocolate chips and 3 Tbsp of coconut oil in a microwave dish for about 1 minute. Stir well.
