LOW CARB JALAPEÑO POPPERS (vegetarian)
Very easy, tasty, party food or starter. I made half with cheese and half with cheese with added chopped up quorn chorizo.

Goats cheese would be ideal stuffed into a hot pepper!Would love to try this with an old sharp cheddar, but I suspect things would turn out an oily mess
EDIT: wonder what goat cheese would be like dusted with bacon.
Thanks will doNo, cocoa is different. It doesn't have sugar in it like the drinking chocolate. Look for cocoa in the home baking aisle.

Coconut Chocolate Stuff ... or "Almond Bark" by Rose Elliott!
100 grammes coconut oil (Always use virgin pressed)
100 grammes ground almonds (I use a blend of low carb ground nuts - including macadamia nuts!)
25 grammes pure raw cocoa powder
25 grammes granulated sweetener of choice (I use xylitol)
Melt coconut oil (this doesn't take long)
Throw in cocoa and mix well so you have chocolate oil
Stir in sweetener and allow to soften / disolve (whatever your chosen sweetener does!)
Stir in nuts
Mix it all really well and scoop/pour into plastic tub and allow to cool (coolest part of fridge) for at least 90 minutes
When set, cut and leave another few minutes before serving
If you want to eat chunks like fudge use a slightly smaller tub or if you want chocolate-like slabs use a large flat tub
Originally from Rose Elliots Low Carb Vegetarian (an excellent book) I adapted the recipe slightly
BENEFITS:
* zero impact on blood sugar
* beneficial compounds in coconut oil (yes the fat is saturated but it's the right molecule)
* beneficial compounds in cocoa
* almonds are known to reduce cholesterol
* tastes amazing
* unbelievably fast and easy to make
* makes 21 large servings
ENJOY ... I do!
