    The Chocolate tart looks so scrumptious. Wish I could stand avocado.

    It really doesn't taste like avocado! The avocado just subs as a fat. By the time you add the cocoa, chocolate, honey, and stevia, it's totally unrecognizable. You should try it :wink:

    For Fairysoul:

    Primal Reese's Cups

    Tools:
    paper cupcake wrappers
    a cupcake pan
    a double boiler or bowl that fits on top of a pot

    Ingredients:
    2 bars of dark chocolate (I prefer 85%)
    1-2 tbs. coconut oil
    room temperature nut butter (almond, peanut, whatever you prefer)
    1/2 a banana, sliced super thin

    Directions:
    -line cupcake pan with wrappers
    -heat an inch or two of water in a pot on the stove, careful not to boil
    -put bowl or double boiler on top of pot making sure the water level is not high enough to touch the bowl
    -break 1 chocolate bar into pieces and slowly melt in double boiler with 1 tbs. coconut oil
    (be careful not to get it too hot or the chocolate will separate like oil and coffee grounds and be ruined)
    -pour melted chocolate into cupcake wrappers, creating the bottom layer of the Reese's Cup. Make it as thick as you want. Usually I get 9 cups out of 1 chocolate bar
    -stick the pan in the freezer until chocolate is solid

    -dollop a tsp of nut butter onto the center of each cup
    -push thin banana slices into the nut butter so it spreads over the cup evenly, but doesn't touch the edges of the wrapper
    -place back into freezer so it hardens up a little

    -heat up second chocolate bar the same way as the first
    -pour remaining chocolate into cups so the sides and top of the banana slice are completely covered, sealing it in and making a "Reese's Peanut Butter Cup"
    -put back in freezer so top layer can solidify
    -keep refrigerated until eaten
    (the coconut oil makes them melt fast at room temperature, so if that's a problem you can always just not use the coconut oil)

    I made these tonight and they were AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!

    That is actually, 1/2 of 1/4 of cup of flaked coconut, 1/4 cup of raspberries, 1/2 of a 1/4 of a cup sliced almonds, 1 chopped date, and about 1/3 cup od unsweetened almond milk! About 230 cals I think..

    Awesome, thanks! I have a bag full of dates. That is on my list for sure. Lately I've been obsessed with a new treat (doesn't photograph well). It's almond butter, coconut butter, cocoa powder, and a little stevia. Tastes like dark chocolate cookie dough, so good.

    Paleo cereal (thanks for the idea fairysoul!)
    Sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and pecans with some berries and peaches. It also has an orange honey and coconut milk caramel, then poured some almond and coconut milk over it all.
