Cooking instruction summary:

If you do not have powdered erythritol or a powdered erythritol/stevia icing mix, just make it yourself by grinding it with a stick blender or in a food processor (I made a whole batch which I keep in the cupboard for whenever I need it). I have tried this recipe with granulated erythritol and found that the granules, unlike sugar, do not melt at lower temperatures. Youll end up with some sweet chocolates and some very plain ones an acquired taste Grind your pistachios into small pieces and dry roast in a pan over a low heat, moving them around with a spatula regularly until they are browned evenly. This should take a few minutesMelt the grated cacao butter in a Bain Marie (a bowl over simmering water). If you decide not to bother with this and simply melt it in a pot, you must make sure that you do it over a VERY low heatOnce the cacao butter is melted, add the sifted cocoa, sea salt and sweetener and stirPour the chocolate mix into an ice cube tray or into small silicone mouldsPlace in the freezer for 5 minutes until the top is beginning to setRemove the chocolate tray from the freezer and add the pistachios.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
