Yes definitely!!! I have done exactly that. Melt chocolate, mix with chopped nuts, place spoonfuls in paper linings in compartments in a muffin tray tin and wait to harden up.
Back onto chocolate again and preoccupation with emulsifers! Have I made an interesting discovery with Green & Blacks organic 70% cocoa chocolate which doesn't seem to have emulsifers or am I missing something with this brand other than it expensive?
Oooohhh. I like the 30 grams of nuts daily research ..... never really knew what an anti-inflammatory amount would be. I also feel dark chocolate is essential for one's fiber intake. The 90% dark chocolate I enjoy daily has 8 grams of dietary fiber in each 35 gram serving. And due to such a high fiber content one is satisfied after just half a serving! You are so correct, Jeannette ... for every nefarious food there is a nirvanic one! LOVE your new Swap Shop!
That's insane re the fibre content of the dark chocolate you are buying there. I'm going to start examining that on the side of the ones here too. Great point!
Great suggestion, Jeannette and thanks for this new video series!
Thank you Jane!
Great idea for a series and nice to have you chatting on video!
Thanks Fiona!
I wonder if you could crush the nuts and melt the chocolate, mix together and flatten out to set to make snack pieces. Do you think this would work?
I was thinking that, too. Yum :))
I was wondering that too! Would feel more like a chocolate bar. Good to hear from Jeannette that that's fine!

Yes, the higher the percentage of cocoa in a bar, the more fiber! Usually these brands have no UPF and lower sugar content. Always read the labels!
Very useful, thanks Noel xx
Great idea, especially about the cheaper cooking chocolate! Thank you
Yes - interesting about that.

Great discovery! Sounds like they’ve changed the ingredients as previously they contained them. Good news and thanks for sharing
Great idea! Looking forward to the next swap.
Yes lots to come, glad you like!

Brilliant idea! Can't wait to see all the fun you have here.
Thank you Kirsten
I love a trail mix. Looking forward to the next episode!
Thank you Sabine!
I enjoy a trail mix with also added seeds, pumpkin and sunflower especially. Thank you for this 😋
That sounds delicious - and great diversity for your microbiome, and filling to keep you going. Glad you liek the video, Jeannette
