** Watch HD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF2Tk0GFO9k&fmt=22 **
What better use for a HD Camera than to use it for a cooking video, and this just happens to be one of the absolute simplest low carb treats you can make. Today’s recipe is Low Carb Chocolate Covered Peanuts or Chocolate Bark for those still on Induction.

The only difficult thing is finding the Coconut Oil — Super Wal-mart sells a good brand for day to day cooking needs. The Recipe is:
1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
1 packet of Truvia or Artifical Sweetener (liquid Splenda is fine) - **update from recording
1.5 TBS Cocoa Powder
1 oz Peanuts (optional)

Mix together, and spread into lined loaf pan. Freeze for 5-10 minutes or until ready to eat. Makes 4 servings.

Info with Liquid Splenda:
