* ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
* 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
* 4 small bananas
* 1 jar store-bought chocolate sauce

6. Spread one quarter of the cream cheese in center of pastry. Sprinkle on a quarter of the chocolate and a quarter of the cherries over the cream cheese.
7. Place two banana slices side by side (lengthwise) on top of the filling. Fold the side edges inward. Then fold the front half over on top of the bananas and roll tightly to create a rectangular package. Brush top with butter.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the other 3 bananas. Place the 4 wrapped bananas on a cooking tray.

You can't go wrong with chocolate and cherries, and these are no exception! Vegan, with 100% spelt flour and no added fat thanks to homemade pumpkin and sunflower seed butter, even the frosting is good for you, and packed with hidden antioxidants!
Need more breakfast idea for my current diet that doesn't involve avocado. It is especially tricky when I'm on the road. Although this chocolate raspberry chia pudding is not anti-inflammatory (I consider it more neutral), it is certainly packed with nutrition. Plus I can make it in hotel rooms too if I don't fancy it up.
Chia seeds are soaked overnight in almond milk until you get consistency of pudding. Dissolve some cocoa powder with hot water to make a thick paste and blend into pudding. Fold in cacao nibs and raspberries. You can sweeten it with maple syrup but since I cut out sugar, the raspberries will have to pull their weight.

Traditionally truffles where supposed to look like the mushroom they were named after and that's what i was going for. The cocoa powder i dusted them with give them a just dug up out of the ground look.

miracle fruit is "a slightly tart West African berry with a strange property: For about an hour after you eat it, everything sour tastes sweet." this is what we paired with our berries - and how it all tasted.

Cocoa powder makes a great soap additive. This was going into my egyptian musk soap to create a smooth tan color.
This makes cracking toast. The combination of the molasses, cocoa powder and onion seeds really comes into its own when they're toasted and smothered in butter.

"The Moon is Made Of..."
Well, the moon *should* be made of this!
It's a brownie... no, a banana bar... no, a Reeses bar... it's all of them! Smooth chocolate, crunchy peanuts and creamy bananas all meld into a delicious, sweet treat.
Thin, chewy and vegan FTW! These use my Cocoa Syrup as the full-bodied chocolate flavour, amped up by brown sugar, with crunch from Rice Krispies and moist from oil and silken tofu. Perfect to face all the allergies at school!

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich-flavored cocoa. Because fried chicken-flavored cocoa would just be weird.
Last week I was on a quest to find some quick and easy cookies to bake...that didn't require me to chill the dough for 30 or more minutes. I happened upon these at epicurious.com and am glad I did.
The recipe is here: tinyurl.com/6qc87f
The only changes I made were the addition of espresso powder and a few white chocolate chips. Other than that, I stuck to the recipe.
These cookies were a great blend of crunchy yet chewy and the raw dough was unbelievably delicious. These will be made again and again and again.
