Ann,  So happy you like it.. When I used to take buyers out I would tell them that everything was better with chocolate and I had some in my survival kit.. this healthy version would be even better!  Hope you enjoy it!

Sounds wonderful!  I wouldn't even need the sweetener.  I prefer my chocolate very dark with very little sugar.  I am going to whip some up today!

@Valerie,  What a great idea.. how about dried blueberries.... You have me thinking!  Just using the Cacoa bars makes sense!

John ~  Good for you... we have been working on clean eating too!  It should be easy for you to do.. and I KNOW that Debbie will like it if she is a dark chocolate girl!  It has a different taste as there is little sugar... Good luck and let us know how it works!
