Pour the chocolate into a plastic bag, and cut a small hole in the tip of the bag. 
Pipe little dots in rows across the parchment paper. 
Once it is full, place the pan in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Pour the chocolate in the container, it shouldn't be paper thin or super thick. 
Freeze for 10 minutes. Remove from freezer and take it out of the container. 
Using a cold large knife, chop the chocolate into desired size chunks. 
Store in the freezer.

Enjoy!

Crepes are something that we make for breakfast on every birthday. I couldn't go without crepes, because they are a family tradition.  I created this recipe to be similar to the crepes I used to eat.

Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

I love this light simple key lime pie! It is so creamy and smooth and tastes so fresh, and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. You may worry that it will taste like avocados... I can honestly tell you that it does not.  When you put avocados with something, like lime juice, all you can taste is the lime.

Moist Grain Free & Paleo Carrot Cake

I have been wanting to make carrot cake for a LONG time. It is one of my favorites! I created this recipe to have a moist and fluffy cake. It turned out so delicious!   I had an idea for creating "cream cheese" frosting with no dairy, I was getting so eager to try it out. I thought that a carrot cake was the perfect cake to go with it. It is so creamy and very similar to the "real" cream cheese frosting I used to make. I will be posting the recipe for it soon!  Moist Grain Free & Paleo Carrot Cake  Makes a double layer 6in round cake   Ingredients  1 1/4 C. Almond flour  2 Tbsp. Coconut flour  3/4 tsp.
