Sugar Free Chocolate Chunks
1 4oz. bar unsweetened chocolate (Ghirardelli)
1/4 cup xylitol
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
2 Tbsp. milk powder
1/8 tsp. stevia powder

Line a jelly roll pan (or any pan with a lip) with parchment paper and set aside.

In a coffee grinder or small food processor, pulse xylitol until crystals
are broken up and powdered. Larger crystals here and there are no big deal and
will add a nice little crunch to the finished chocolate chunks.

Using a chef’s knife, chop the chocolate bar into medium sized pieces and
place in a microwave safe bowl with the powdered xylitol. Heat in the microwave
at 20 second intervals, removing and stirring the mixture after
each interval until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Add coconut oil, milk powder, and stevia to the chocolate and stir until
thoroughly blended. Pour into the prepared pan and place into the freezer for
10-15 minutes or the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until solid. Chop into chunks.
