Now I blammed the Kisses & SBPB on PMS, but the CC Cookies I have come way TOOOOOO Far & Know Way Better than that !!!

In my opinion chocolate is healthy. I have no idea who came up with the idea we should avoid it I know Atkins (forgot? ) to put it on the induction list so when or if I go on induction I do try to not have any but now on OWL I eat it. Of course there are limits and I avoid sugars but the actual chocolate stuff... nah
So Cindy stay away from sugars - have your chocolate

Next time try this, I had it last night with a little whipped cream and it is awesome!!! I save it for a very occasional treat when I want chocolate really bad.

There's is some evidence that a chocolate craving is a sign of magnesium deficiency. So you might want to get that checked out.

My favorite treat. Cut the Splenda at least in half because you don't need anywhere near the full amount to get the sweetening effect.


3 MINUTE CHOCOLATE CAKE

1/4 cup almond flour, 1 ounce
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon water
1 egg


Mix the almond flour, cocoa, baking powder and granulated Splenda, if using, in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Stir in the liquid Splenda, if using, butter, water and egg. Mix well with a spoon or fork. Scrape batter down evenly with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap * and vent by cutting a small slit in center. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute until set but still a little moist on top. I had to do mine for 1 minute 20 seconds. Cool slightly and serve warm topped with whipped cream or cool completely and frost as desired.
Makes 2 servings

Can be frozen


* I'd forgotten to cover mine with plastic, but it came out wonderful anyway. I think the plastic would probably keep it very moist, perhaps more like a pudding cake in texture.
