Dark Chocolate Orange Slices!

Remember these?!  These used to be my favorite Easter basket treat when I was younger. I created healthy version that is near identical in taste :) One of my favorite inventions so far, hope you enjoy!

What you'll need:
Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate Squares (8oz, 8 squares per box)
1/2 Tsp Organic Butter
1/2 Cup Xylitol (powdered)
1/2 Tsp Orange Extract (Orange Oil, Orange Flavor.. make sure no sugar or bad oils added)


Instructions:
Melt down 8 squares of chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until melted. Blend xylitol into a fine powder with a magic bullet, food processor or coffee grinder. Blend 1/2 cup of powdered xylitol and 1/2 tsp of orange oil until smooth. Pour into fruit slice molds or spread a layer on wax paper, cool in refrigerator or freezer until hardened.
