Chocolate... OR Super-easy-can't-eat-dairy-or-refined-sugars-but-that's-okay-because-I-can-eat-this Kind of Chocolate :)

Okay, so if you can eat a chocolate bar without the horrifying digestive after effects, please do.  It's easier and can satisfy a sweet-tooth in no time.  

However, if you can't, like myself.  Try this. 

Whips up in a few minutes.  Then, just freeze and eat as the cravings hit you.  Or melt 30 sec in the microwave for chocolate sauce.  

Total Time: 5 minutes prep + 30+ minutes in the freezer or fridge

Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
pinch sea salt

What to do:

1) Melt all ingredients together over medium heat, or for added convenience, in a jar for 30 seconds or so in the microwave!  Use a fork or whisk to bring together, or just put the cap on the jar and shake.  

2) If the coconut keeps separating, place it in the fridge for a little bit to cool it down. Then try mixing again.  Or, you can add a bit more maple syrup, which sometimes help to keep it together. 

3) For hard chocolate: Pour mixture in a parchment-lined brownie pan, smooth to flat, and place in freezer for 30+ minutes.

4) OR for chocolate sauce: Keep in a jar.  Use immediately, or store in refrigerator and heat for 30 seconds and shake well.
