I made my own version and cut the cocoa in half, used unsweetened coconut and instead of sugar I used 6 drops of liquid stevia . Tasted much better and is Keto  friendly .

Just made this and as most were saying a little more sweetener is needed for my taste and I too am a low sugar person. I drizzle melted raw honey across the top. I may try adding some fruit next time. Maybe use my chopper as I did for the almonds for small tidbits of fruit. I was also thinking of almond butter or peanut butter for a new flavor.

Not a newbie to coconut oil chocolate, I like this recipe as a basic start to fiddle my own batch of chocolate, since I never wrote down what I did and wanted to make some fudgy treats. I made this using 2/3 cup raw cocoa because in other recipes the coconut oil/cocoa ratios are the same or half as much cocoa and that works well. It does taste a little bitter with only 1 Tbsp sugar but I saved a few sliced almonds to put on top and sprinkled coarse grind sea salt over those. Salt cuts the bitterness. I’m a low sugar person and these were fine after the addition of the salt. In fact, next time I will omit the sugar altogether and maybe use chopped cashews to give a richer flavor to offset the lack of sugar and again, sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Just made this…YUMMY. I used 1/2 Black Cocoa from Frontier and 1/2 Cocoa non Dutch process. Next time may use ratio of 1/3 black cocoa to 2/3 regular cocoa. Added 1/2 cup organic sugar and 3 Tablespoons Honey to make it non bitter. Still not that sweet. Recipe as written way too short of sweetener so taste as you go and adjust accordingly.Also chopped sliced  almonds up. Hubby LOVED IT!

That’s what I was wondering. 1cup of cocoa seems like a LOT, and a tablespoon of sugar seems low. Are they mixed up?

Is only 1 tablespoon of sugar enough for 1 cup of cocoa powder?

yes, the “cups” is confusing.  It should read “2/3 cup”

I am assuming the almonds are chopped.

I’d like to see the nutritional information for this recipe.  Is it here and I’m just not seeing it?

I would definitely read as two thirds. Two to three would be as 2-3. Plus that’s a heckuva lot of oil! :)

That would be two thirds of a cup.

Hi there, this almond, choc, coconut recipe looks great. But i am wondering if the first ingredient, coconut oil, is two thirds of a cup, or, 2 to 3 cups! It is not clear to me. I am definitely going to try this recipe, but hoping someone can clear up my query.

2 to 3 cups would make sense! That would help with the amount of coco powder. Thanks for questioning that.
