• 3/4 cup raw organic pecans
• 1/2 cup Kirkland Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

Grind together the almonds, pecans, and coconut oil in a food processor.

Add in the stevia powder and any additional sweetening, and blend well.

Add in the raw cacao powder, raw eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt. If you are using the cinnamon and hot smoked paprika, add them now too. Blend in the food processor until smooth.
