Thumbs up hmmmmm yum

Great idea for the filling; I've been thinking up all kinds of complicated stuff that probably wouldn't work very well for the simple chocolate filling. This is *great*.

I have a different [secret until now !8-] recipe that works great for a firmer chocolate coating and makes a spectactular crackling glaze on frozen homemade ice cream, too.

1 ounce pure cocoa butter, food grade (from the Health Food Store)
1 ounce dark cocoa powder, unsweetened Dutch Process (Fry's is excellent)
1/8 tsp white stevia powder

Ensure all bowls, spoons and whisks are completely dry. Melt the cocoa butter in a heat proof bowl at low power 40-50% in the microwave; may take a few minutes. Sift the cocoa powder and stevia in another small bowl.

Carefully remove the cocoa butter from the microwave and set on a potholder or teatowel (bowl and cocoa butter will be quite hot). Slowly whisk the cocoapower mixture into the cocoa butter until smooth.

Dip whatever you want in the liquid chocolate and put aside to set (I use a sheet of baking parchment or a teflon pan liner). Can put in the freezer for a few minutes if desired. OR spoon/drizzle 2-3 tbsp over some LC ice cream.

PS: I use this to coat my 'homemade' protein bars.
