Paleo Chocolate Pecan Bites (sugar free option)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup full-fat, canned coconut milk
16 ounces dark chocolate (80% cacao)
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups coconut sugar
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1 3/4 cups cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (gluten-free)
2 cups chopped pecans
Directions:
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut milk for 3 minutes. Add the chocolate and fat to the pan while stirring. Continue stirring and heating the mixture for 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the eggs and stir for 1 minute.
Put the saucepan back on the burner, still over medium heat, and add the coconut sugar, almond flour, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Stir the mixture well for 2 minutes and then remove from the heat. Let the chocolate mixture cool for 15 minutes.
Form the chocolate mixture into 1-by-2-inch rectangles with your hands and then cover them liberally with chopped pecans. Place the squares on a platter and let them chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
For a lower carb option: Use unsweetened baking chocolate with 100% cacao instead of 80%. Use 2 teaspoons stevia extract in place of the coconut sugar. Add 2 eggs and 1/3 cup coconut milk. Source
