If you're like me, you LOVE chocolate, but most of that store-bought stuff just doesn't meet paleo standards.  And, if you're like me, you LOVE milk chocolate so the paleo alternatives don't really fix that craving.  For you dark chocolate lovers, you can find something to satiate that chocolate craving, but I end up in indulging in dairy and sugar which doesn't do much for my overall health, gut health, and complexion.  

How about this....little chocolate bites?!  If you leave them refrigerated, they're like little pudding bites, but if you freeze them, it's like eating a small and satisfying bite of chocolate "ice cream."

Recipe

• 2 - 12 oz cans coconut milk (where to buy)
• 1 cup maple syrup
• ½ c arrowroot starch (where to buy)
• 2 t vanilla extract
• 4 drops peppermint (optional) (where to buy)
• ½ cup raw organic cacao powder (where to buy)

Line 2 mini muffin pans (48).  Whisk together coconut milk, arrowroot, maple syrup, and cacao.  Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and peppermint.  Keep stirring and allow to thicken.  Place into mini muffin pans and freeze for at least 2 hours.  When ready to serve, allow to thaw for 2 -3 minutes.
