Kristine,

I bought the paraffin at the grocery store, and I ordered the cocoa butter from Botanistry, www.botanistry.com, which is in Florida. They sell supplies for making soap, skin care products, etc. to spas, but they have very good food grade cocoa butter at the best price I found. But I would check the health food stores.

Karen,

Those chocolate treats sound great and I think I'll have to try them too; can't have too many ways to make low carb treats!

Kellser,

I make 6 chocolate bars at once because that's how many spaces there are in the mold, so to 3 ounces cocoa butter, 1.5 ounce chocolate, and 1.5 ounce paraffin I add 1/4 tsp of sucralose, which equals the sweetness of just under a cup of sugar (3/8 tsp equals a cup).

One note: the sucralose does not dissolve well in the chocolate, so I stir it into the vanilla or other flavoring before adding that to the melted chocolate mixture.
