(makes 20 pieces)

- 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 3/4 c. raw almond butter**
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch of celtic sea salt
- 1/2 c. powdered xylitol

Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine xylitol/cinnamon with butter, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt and mix on medium speed until well incorporated.
- Use a small scoop, or form balls in your hand, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, put coconut oil in a small pan and melt. Add the rest of the ingredients (add stevia a little at a time) and stir well. Let cool. Remove baking sheet from freezer and dip the centers in the coating. Put back in freezer for about 5 minutes.
- Repeat 2 more times to make a nice coating. Store in freezer.

Can we have cacao on a Candida diet?
It depends on the candida diet you follow. In my program Kicking Candida,it is one of the “Limited” foods.
