'Sounds delish!!!! I can't wait to try it out. I'm an habitual chocoholic!
One word of caution thought...You mentioned that you make this for yourself and your pets. My vet has told me, and I've read it too, that chocolate is lethal to dogs. Don't ask me why, but as I do understand it, there is some toxin formed in their digestive tract from the chocolate and it can kill them. I could never forgive myself for hurting one of mine and I know you feel the same.
