Thanks!
Actually, I did just that this evening, the cocoa, coconut oil and some sugar. I would prefer almonds to walnuts. (Uncooked they walnuts raise little welts on my tongue.)
I took this thread as much a chance for fun and something as a celebration of chocolate. Popular media tends to sensationalize medical research, and journalists do not generally come with a medical or scientific background. It did provide a pretty good rationalization to keep eating it though!
Oops! Getting my threads mixed! This is the chocolate thread!

No problem. How was it?
Try to use a cocao powder that has not been processed with alkali (the processing destroys most of the beneficial polyphenols.) I generally use Natavis naturals cacao.
Almonds should be good. I’ve also used hazelnut and that’s pretty tasty as well. The crunchiness of the nuts really adds a lot to the experience.
