Ingredients
  • 2 cups mix of raisins, walnuts, almonds, goji berries, date pieces and coconut flakes (or use whatever you have on hand and toss it together)
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened dark chocolate
Instructions
  1. Place wax paper on baking sheet
  2. Spread nut and coconut mix on baking sheet
  3. In a small sauce pan add coconut oil and melt over the lowest heat
  4. Add coconut sugar and dissolve with a small spoon
  5. Add dark chocolate to coconut/sugar mixture and gently swirl around lifting pan about an inch of the flame while chocolate melts. Stir chocolate as necessary with a spoon making sure it does not stick to the bottom and burn
  6. Turn flame off and quickly pour chocolate over nut and coconut mix tossing gently with a fork covering mixture well with chocolate
  7. Let mixture set until chocolate is hard for an hour or two gently tossing every half hour
