By the time you read this I will be in the wilds of Iceland, just spellbound by my surroundings and marveling how great it is to be alive. I did manage to whip up this new Healthy Chocolate Caramel Candy recipe before I went though.

Homemade Chocolate…and a new buttery twist.
Homemade chocolate is so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you’ve never done it before!
One of my big revelations when I finally worked out how to lose weight was that you don’t have to completely give up the taste of the stuff you like to eat. You just need to tweak it and make it at home. So it goes from being junk food, with no nutritional value, toxins, and chemicals that your body can’t recognise, to something so amazingly good for you. It still tastes fantastic, but now with amazing nutrition as well so it has an automatic off switch, making binge eating or over eating a thing of the past.
So one of the foods that most people absolutely love is chocolate.
Homemade Almond Joy
I remember these treats from my childhood days and I think my mother was more into them than I. They were chocolatey, coconutty and chewy with a kind of fresh taste. Called Almond Joy in the USA, here in Australia the closest equivalent is Bounty Chocolate Bars. So I thought it might be fun to create homemade Almond Joy bars.
Off I went to the net and found a few recipes already. All fantastic ingredients and when there are so few ingredients, there is not much tweaking that can be done – or so I thought.
