Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you have to store the chocolate in the fridge?
Because it's made with coconut oil, it needs to be stored in the fridge. It will start to melt if kept at room temperature too long.
Can I use cocoa butter instead of coconut oil?
Yes, absolutely! If you do this, the chocolate should be okay to keep room temperature. Personally I prefer the taste of the coconut oil, but both are great options!
Why use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder?
Cacao powder is less processed than cocoa powder. Both have a similar taste and you can use either. I did some research on different brands of cacao powder, and the one I chose is called Viva Naturals. It's organic, has a great taste, and is low in lead.
Are there any chocolate brands that have clean ingredients?
Yes, there are a few brands of chocolate that have great ingredients:
Honey Mama's (this is my top favorite chocolate)
Hu Chocolate (they have both dark and milk chocolate options)
These are great if you're looking for a special treat and don't want to make the chocolate yourself. Honey Mama's is sweetened with raw honey and has all organic ingredients. They are paleo, gluten free, soy free, refined sugar free, etc.
Can I add toppings and flavors to this recipe?
Of course! Personally I love adding some peppermint extract (a little goes a long way) and some cocoa nibs to add a nice "crunch" to the chocolate. You can also add in some dried raspberry or even nuts. Get creative with it!
How long do they keep fresh in the fridge?
They should be good for at least several weeks, but they're unlikely to last that long (since they taste so good). All the ingredients are shelf stable so I can't imagine them going off very quickly. You'd know if they went off.

Is there a low carb sweetener option that you could use instead?
Yes, you could try using allulose or stevia. Personally I don't love the taste of zero carb sweeteners like allulose or stevia, but if you enjoy them it may be worth a try!
Why these trysts take place at such specific intervals is as much a mystery as their synchrony – one theory, though, is that so many cicadas link come up at link once that it's impossible for predators to eat them all (though they are eaten, even by humans, here and there). It's a winning strategy – call it predator saturation. Cicadas have been around, entomologists tell us, since the late Triassic period. A cool two hundred million years or so. Whatever the reasons, it works. link We should last so long.
Similarly, in the 20th century, watchmakers link used planners or link diaries to organize their lives and to have convenient access to useful information; we have a collection of link over 50 of these agendas in our library dating from 1878 through 1971. Image 14 shows them above a shelf of very large books including Morgan's catalog and two copies of Diderot's encyclopedia.
So how does the most iconic raptor in North America — the very same one that we nearly lost forever, now congregate by the literal thousands around the Chilkat River? As far as you can see across the delta, there are brown and white-capped dots wheeling high above the river, perched on link snow-covered logs and stumps link and silently observing it all from leafless branches. Some trees have five or more link eagles.
Speaking from the perspective of this vacation-class diver, you could definitely still use this bezel for a dive, especially if the plan was link to use it as a backup for a dive computer. So yes, link as a Pelagos nerd, I always find it unnerving to see a new model that isn't primarily designed to be a dive watch, but as Tudor expands the Pelagos to become a sort of catch-all for its modern sport watch designs, a GMT isn't all that shocking (especially compared to the cycling FXD link linked above).
This '59 Submariner 5512 was worn by its original link owner as a marine blockading Cuba during the Missile Crisis, the link Infantry Advisor for the 1st Korean Marine Division, and the commanding officer of the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company during the Tet Offensive. Not having children, he gifted the watch to his friend Andrew for his birthday in 2016, asking him to restore the original bezel and hands that had been replaced, and to pass it down to his children link one day.
