Ingredients

Directions

1. Melt chocolate and butter or coconut oil in the microwave oven or in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler you can put a glass bowl on top of a pot of steaming water.

6. Top with finely chopped peanuts or other creative toppings.
7. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
8. When the batter is set, cut into small squares with a sharp knife.
9. Remember, keep these and all treats small—no more than a 1 x 1 inch square. Store in the refrigerator of freezer.

Note

• Almond or hazelnut butter work, too. And try different toppings: toasted (and coarsely chopped) almonds or hazelnuts, roasted sesame seeds with unsweetened coconut flakes, or even tahini. Mmmmm…
