Chocolate lovers Trail Mix

1c Almonds
*1c Sunflower seeds
*1c Pecans
*1c Pepitas
1 1/2c Sugar free raisins

Homemade Chocolate

5TBSP Coconut oil
*1tsp Stevia
1 1/2tsp vanilla extract
1TBSP Cinnamon
4TBSP Almond milk
1/2c + 1TBSP Raw cocoa powder

Mix your top ingredients together along with your homemade broken up chocolate and enjoy.  Here is how to make your home made chocolate; heat in a small sauce pan 4 tbsp coconut oil and stevia, 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tbsp of cinnamon, 4tbsp of almond milk, and 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp of cocoa powder and stir it all together in the sauce pan. Remove it from the heat and stir it will get very thick, when its well mixed dump it on parchment paper and fold the paper over and roll it out flat(for a sweet twist you can sprinkle the flattened out chocolate a tsp of sea salt it brings out all the flavors sweet and the cinnamon and vanilla extract!) and place on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until solid. Then pull it out of the freezer and break it up into small bite size pieces. Then add to your mix of nuts, seeds and raisins. I keep the mix in the frige until ready to enjoy because the chocolate melts easily. This mix is very similar to the Vitality Mix sold in Earth Fare, which sells for 8.99 a pound! This mix is much cheaper to make and just as yummy!!

*You may sub of other nuts and seeds that you like better
*Stevia can be substituted out for 1TBSP Raw honey
