Homemade Chocolate Almond Bark

• Almonds (We decided afterward it would have been better to chop them up)
• Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa
• Sea Salt
• Coconut Oil (melted)
• Agave Sweetner (Can also use maple syrup or honey)

You can really make this deliciousness for any amount. It will go quick!!!  I promise :))))  I started with about  1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, be sure to measure it after you melt it. Then I added 1/4 cup cocoa and 3 Tablespoons of Agave. Then I wisked it together until it was smooth and runny.  I layed all the almonds out on wax paper and then spread the chocolate over them. Lastly I lightly sprinkled the salt on top. This is what really sealed the deal! Made the chocolate taste perfect!!! I let it sit out for 3 hours and it still hadn't set all way so I ended it with an hour in the fridge. That did the trick :) I broke it into smalleer pieces and stored it in a tupperware container on the counter! I found this recipe on pinterest in a few places but made my own changes and added almonds to the mix!!! You could use any type of nuts/seeds/dried fruit to add to your nutrition!!!


Homemade Cheesy Popcorn

• Freshly Popped Popcorn (We use a popcorn machine but you can also use your stove, try to avoid microwave if possible)
• Cheddar Cheese Powder (I found mine in the bulk section of our local grocery store)
• Melted Butter/Olive Oil/Coconut Oil (Whatever your preference is)
• Powdered Mustard 
• Baggie to toss it around in (We used a gallon plastic this time would have been less messy if we had used a paper bag to soak up some of the excess butter)

Pop your popcorn and dump it into a baggie. Pour butter/oil over popcorn. Add cheese powder and mustard (go lightly on this-you can always add more). Shake it up and BOOM you have cheesy popcorn without all the added ingredients of store bought!!!! And let me tell you it tastes SO similar you won't even know!!!!
