Healthy Mounds Bar
INGREDIENTS
•
Chocolate / Carob Base:
•
1/2 cup coconut oil (palm would work well too, or butter) (Nutiva , Tropical Traditions and Wilderness Family Naturals are great brands.)
•
1/2 cup almond butter (any nut or seed butter would work, but almond is especially nice.)* See Homemade Nut / Seed Butter.
•
1/4 cup granulated sweetener or appropriate substitute (for candida diets, xylitol and erythritol work well. 4-6 scoops stevia extract is a good alternative))**
•
6 Tbsp carob or cocoa powder
•
3 Tbsp sweetener (I use vegetable glycerine, xylitol, erythritol or any combination thereof, due to being on a candida diet. Use a little more if using erythritol since it isn’t as sweet. My Homemade Truvia® is a great option as well.)
•
1 tsp vanilla (Spicery Shoppe Vanilla is a great alcohol-free brand.)
•
Coconut Topping:
•
1 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
•
7 Tbsp coconut oil
•
1/3 cup granulated sweetener (or 2-3 scoops stevia extract powder. I use NuNaturals.)
•
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
•
1/4 tsp additional flavoring (optional. Almond or coconut are good choices)
•
2 tsp arrowroot powder (cornstarch may be substituted)
•
Almonds halves or slices (optional)
