Sometimes I have a craving for chocolate but don’t want any sugar. A while back when I was doing a sugar detox, my friend Michael introduced me to Sunspire baking bars as a great 100 percent chocolate bar for munching on. Other chocolate bars I’ve tried were super bitter, but the Sunpire bars are nice and smooth. I am happy to say that I still enjoy these bars post detox…but sometimes I need a little more. I decided to add my favorite craving squelcher, coconut butter, to sweeten it up a bit. I have a teaspoon of Nutiva Coconut Manna each morning before my early WODs and I love it. In fact, I was surprised it was allowed during a detox or Whole 30 because it tastes perfectly sweet to me. Then I added macadamia nuts and sea salt for good measure. What I ended up with is a yummy treat with no guilt. I could have eaten the whole pan, but I restrained myself to a couple of good-sized chunks. I have also made this recipe with a little bit of unsweetened coconut and some dried unsweetened cherries–delicious. You could definitely substitute your favorite kind of nuts. This has become my new go-to dessert. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Store the leftovers, if there are any, in the refrigerator.
