Chocolate Soother

Thank you Laura at Heavenly Homemakers for this wonderful, healthful recipe of hers! The kids flipped out over this! Soooo good! Doesn't seem like it could possible be healthy, but it is!

Ingredients:
1/4 c organic baking cocoa
1/4 c pure maple syrup
1 T butter
3 T sucanat

4 egg yolks
3 c milk
2 T arrowroot powder
1 t vanilla

I cook with stainless steal so I spray the pan first, then begin by adding milk, baking cocoa, egg yolks, maple syrup, sucanat, vanilla, and arrowroot powder. Stir continually over very low heat until starts to thicken. As soon as it begins thickening, remove from heat and add butter. Stir in until dissolved. 
 
For those of you who may be looking for a sweeter option for your wheat and dairy free diet, here is a classic that most people would think they'd have to live without but which is really simple to make.

  • 1 (11.5 ounce) package Enjoy Life (dairy, soy etc... free) chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup organic peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (I used Organic Powdered Sugar)
Directions

  1. Trim 12 paper baking cup liners to half of their height.
  2. Place 1/2 chocolate chips in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spoon melted chocolate into muffin cups, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the sides of the cups until evenly coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and salt. divide into the chocolate cups. Melt the remaining chocolate, and spoon over peanut butter. Spread chocolate to edges of cups. Cool until firm.
