Easter Chocolate - HELP!

[domestic goddess]

I tried the recipe for making chocolate everyone raved about- with the carob and coconut oil...well, I did exactly as the directions said and ended up with a gloopy mess! I did it twice and ...same results. I tried to salvage what I could, as it tasted ok but I'm not sure freezing them will help at this point. Any advice? I basically just wasted almost a whole tub of not-so-cheap coconut oil...:mad:

That's a bummer. I made it, actually two batches and used cacao instead. I made plain, coconut, and walnut chocolate and put it in molds, which came out perfect!
Don't dare waste it. Make up a cookie 'dough' and crumble it on top and have a cookie w/a topping.
Make ice 'cream' and crumble it in there.
Sorry it didn't turn out.
I'd go ahead and freeze it anyway. Then break off chunks and just eat it.

Thanks :)
It actually is the consistency of a tootsie roll so we aren't throwing it out!!! The kids still love it even though we have to use scissors to cut it, lol!

Once cookie dough, maybe you can roll it out with a jar, each kid rolling his dough and let them shape it as they wish. There's never a waste to raw foods. Enjoy.

domestic goddess,

It's happened to me a few times too when I make a recipe which calls for coconut oil, agave and carob. I've noticed that if the agave is at a different temp than the coconut oil, it gets really thick and lumpy. What I do is put it in the D for a few minutes and then process it again.

Hadn't thought it might be related to the carob powder, but could be...
