Easter serves up lots of unhealthy chocolate.  Rather than indulge, prepare a dish of chocolate delight to have ready if needed.  It will be much better to indulge in chocolate delight than to eat Easter candy.

1/2-1 TB cocoa (some do less to cut down on bitterness)
Liquid Stevia to taste (Flavored Stevia for variety, ie. Vanilla liquid stevia)
Fluff cocoa with a fork to break up any chunks. Add melted Coconut Oil.
Dash of sea salt
1TB of coffee (optional)

Phase 3 Version of Classic Chocolate Delight
4 Tbsp coconut oil
1 square unsweetened chocolate
1 Tbsp. Carob powder (a lot less bitter than cocoa)
1/4-1/2 chopped raw nuts (I used almonds and mac nuts)
1/2 tsp. organic vanilla flavoring
1/2 tsp. liquid stevia
