Cacao instead of cocoa powder Cacao power is low in carbs and can be part of a keto diet. From Masterclass.com:
Monkfruit instead of sugar Although cacao is "more bitter than cocoa," that doesn't mean we need to add sugar. I was so happy when I discovered monkfruit, a natural sweetner with no calories. Here's an article that describes the benefits of monkfruit: Why You Should Ditch Sugar for Monkfruit Sweetener Oat milk instead of dairy milk If you have a dairy allergy, oat milk is definitely better for you. Low-fat oat milk also has less calroies than low-fat cow's milk as well as less fat and sugars. (And I think it's delicious!) Follow this link for more info: Is Oat Milk Healthy? Cup of Hot Cacao

These sugary spicy hazelnuts/filberts make a nice gift at Christmastime. I've experiemented quite a bit with removing the nut skins and I challenge anyone to come up with a better method. Honestly, I'm always interested in improving my recipes, and I welcome feedback. Servings: 12 Serving size: 1/4 cup Preparation time: 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour Baking time: about 15 minutes Ingredients 3 cup s hazelnuts/filberts 3 tablespoons canola oil 1 tablespoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons ground cloves 1/2 cup sugar Directions Roasting and Skinning 1. Remove and separate all any pieces of shell from nut meats. 2. Place nuts in a microwaveable container (I use a glass pie plate) and process on high for about 3 minutes. 3. Place in freezer for 15 minutes. 4. Place in a heavy-duty zip lock bag and tumble in dryer on the no-heat setting for 15 minutes. 5. Pour about 1 1/2 cup nuts in a salad spinner and spin off loose skin. Spicing 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. 2. Measure oil into a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. 3. Place nuts in the oil. Cover and shake vigorously, coating the nuts. 7. Pour out onto a large cooky sheet lined with parchment paper. 8. Process sugar and spices in blender until super fine. Sprinkle about half of the mixture on the nuts. 9. Roast for about 15 minutes, watching that they don't burn. 10. Stir and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture and roast for about 15 more minutes or until golden brown and crunchy. Serve in a pretty dish or place in a package with a bow for gift giving.
