A very delicious way to take coconut oil is first to melt it in a warm place, then stir in organic cocoa powder (eg Green and Black's), possibly a teaspoon of D-ribose - allow to cool and go hard - and hey presto! - perfect chocolate! You may have to vary the ingredients according to taste; but what I like is 1/3 pot (150grams) coconut oil with 1/2 pot cocoa powder (60grams) and a teaspoon of D-ribose!

According to Erica Verrillo's e-book(1), "Dr. Cheney has observed that fully one-third of his patients cannot tolerate D-Ribose." I am definitely one of these. It made me feel as though my body was going insane! You can buy chocolate made with the safe low-GI sweetener xylitol. I like the plain one made by Plamil in the UK. No coconut oil in it though. Maybe people could use your recipe and substitute xylitol for d-ribose.

Last night I had a slice of gluten-free toast spread with coconut oil and topped with soya cheese. Absolutely delicious.
