Homemade Chocolate! Only 3 Simple Ingredients!

I was in the mood tonight for something sweet.. in particular chocolate.  I didn't have anything at my house and figured I would look up a recipe to try.  I had nothing to loose with the basic ingredients and to my surprise it actually it turned out good!  (No its not a Reese's or Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar... however I really liked it and curbed my chocolate craving!) Mine turned out to be more like a fudge but the longer you freeze it the more it would turn out like a chocolate bar.

Ingredients
-5 Tbs melted coconut oil
-5 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
-2 Tbs Xylitol or Coconut Palm Sugar (For those on Candida Clear- use Xylitol)

Simply mix all the ingredients together.  You can enjoy right away for more of a fudge like texture or put in the freezer for more of a chocolate bar like texture.  I just put my bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes and then it was more solid... It tasted really good!! You could put wax paper on a plate and flatten the batter out for chocolate bars.   I am terrible about food presentation so my chocolate ball that came out of the freezer was good enough for me! Tasted great and that's all that matters :)  Next time I may add a tablespoon of crushed almonds in it... I don't see why that couldn't work.  So I hope you all enjoy this simple, quick, tasty sweet treat like I did!
