Healthy Chocolate Candy

I'm diabetic and prefer real ingredients. This is a spoon candy, not the hard pick-it-up kind.

Ingredients:

• 4 heaping Tbsp. cocoa, or more (I use unsweetened Bakers chocolate)

• handful or more of peanuts (with or without salt)
• 1 tsp. vanilla, or more
• 1/2 tsp. almond flavoring (if you like bitterish dark chocolate)
• 2-3 heaping Tbsp. virgin coconut oil, or more
• 1/4 cup raw honey
• 4-6 heaping Tbsp. plain yogurt with live cultures to make it creamy (this ingredient is not necessary but so tasty and good for you)

Directions:

Mix cocoa, nuts, extracts, coconut oil ,and honey, then add yogurt. Mix until it is all creamy. Add a bit more vanilla only if necessary, a little liquid goes a long way. If you just take a spoonful out per day and keep it in the fridge, it will get hard without the yogurt. It is very filling and all the ingredients are healthy.

I don't use a measurer so the amounts are adjustable for your tastes and not carved in stone

You can use any kind of nuts you like, also add blueberries (fold them in carefully so they stay whole) if you want.
