Here’s a tutorial I did later that explains the process more thoroughly.

mine didn’t turn out either all the rapadura just clumped at the bottom and wouldn’t melt… what am I doing wrong? how long did you heat it for?

I have made a coco/coconut peanutbutter almond bark.

You simple melt the coconut oil peanutbutter and add the coco powder and sweetner of your choice…sooooooo goooood.

I need help- could you please give us a bit more direction? I couldn’t get the sugar to dissolve in 30 minutes of boiling it in a double boiler. So I microwaved it. Thant almost worked. But not. How long do you cook it for? did you put something on the bottom of your pan to raise the glass jar up? Help please!

Please help!! I attempted the chocolate chip recipe and it totally didn’t turn out…I am so bummed! I didn’t have rapadura, so I used evaporated cane…it didn’t work! It never would dissolve. I thought it looked all melted, so I poured it in the 9×13, and the sugar was all just in the bottom. Okay, when I try this again with rapadura, how long do you actually heat it?

Rapadura? Where would you be able to find this? on the internet or Whole Foods?

Thanks! I think I’ll do some research on it too. I have never heard of it, but that doesn’t really mean much, coming from me!

This sounds really easy! I don’t have Rapadura, but I think I can still make this work. Thanks!

I cannot taste coconut in coconut oil. I buy mine at Walmart. The expeller pressed (I think) is supposed to be better, but this is still non hydrogenated.
Laura, how about a recipe for the granola you make?
Malachi said yesterday, “Its granola, I love it.” So I figured we would love it too.

Yes, radawhodah, otherwise known as Rapadura…is a great sugar choice because it is VERY minimally processed and has lots of good minerals still in it…but if there’s none available to you and you need to make chocolate chiumpks RIGHT NOW (and you know you do), you can use organic brown sugar or succanat.

And about using a different kind of oil…you can experiment and see. I’m sure something else would work. I’m going to play around with one or two today and see what I get!

Love the recipe, Laura… and I love me some trail mix! Thanks!!
