HOW CAN U MAKE CHOCO CHIPS FROM SCRATCH
Ingredients:
1 cup coconut oil (or any solid healthy fat.  I recommend Nutiva or Tropical Traditions coconut oil)
1 cup cocoa or carob (I prefer roasted carob) powder
3 Tbsp sweetener (liquid or granulated work fine.  Use as healthy an option as possible.  If using stevia extract, substitute 3 scoops, or to taste.)
2 tsp vanilla



Method:
  1. Melt coconut oil over a very low heat.  Remove from heat.  Stir in carob, sweetener, and vanilla.  (If you heat over too high of a heat or don’t remove from the heat, the coconut oil will separate from the carob when cooling.  You can still eat it, but it won’t be as smooth.)
  2. Pour mixture into a pan (8×8 works well).
  3. Place in refrigerator or freezer until solid.  Remove from pan, and cut into chunks of desired size with a good, solid knife.
  4. Store in a cool place until ready to use.
SO ITS EASY TO MAKE AND JUST PERFECT
