Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup cocoa powder (or roasted carob powder)
- 3 tablespoons low-carb sweetener
- 4 teaspoons peppermint extract (use alcohol free for AIP)
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil over a very low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in carob, sweetener, and peppermint extract. (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 and the chips will be kind of mottled, depending on how bad they separated.)
- Spread mixture into a pan (8x8 works well).
- Place in refrigerator or freezer until solid. Remove from pan, and cut into chunks of desired size with a good, solid knife.
- Store in a cool place until ready to use.
Notes
- Yields approximately 3 cups of chips / chunks.
- I recommend making a double batch and storing the extra chips in your freezer for future baking or munching :-). But then again, I cook almost everything in bulk.
- If you wish to avoid cocoa due to stimulants inherent in it, use carob instead. You might need less sweetener due to the inherent sweeteness of carob.
- Any healthy liquid or granulated sweetener should work fine instead of xylitol, but you may need to use a different amount if using a liquid sweetener, so read Substituting Sweeteners. Honey or maple syrup will work well for AIP. If using stevia extract, substitute 3 scoops, or to taste - see How to Use Stevia.
- The coconut oil does make them susceptible to heat. Once coconut oil gets to 76 degrees, it starts to soften considerably (that's why the processed chips use hydrogenated oils (Yuck!). So in the summer months, you may wish to keep your chips and chip-filled treats in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to eat them.
