Yes, Nadine, you're right again, I was. Coconut oil is the best oil for us, but the other one is hydrogenated & is 98% saturated fat. It's the way it's extracted, I guess.
Here's a site about it, link here:-

as you can see, it's the real deal, & $24.80 per litre, before the shipping costs!!!

Here's another site, talking about the health benefits of coconut oil, link here:-

Here's the (bad oil) on copha, see the second entry on this forum, (also look at wikipedia.)

Thanks for the recipe for chocolate it is really nice. Great that it uses coconut oil. I added about half a cup of whole hazelnuts and about half a cup of dessicated coconut. Helps with the chocolate cravings. Must be kept in fridge as mine did not seem to set really hard.

Home made nut chocolate

60g coconut oil  

2 tblpns organic rice malt syrup

2 tblpns milk powder

3 tblspns cocoa

lots of any sort of nuts

Just melt coconut oil (won't take much) then add the rest - refrigerate.

 

I tried this one and it turned out nice and hard, but I did keep it in the fridge.

Hi Nadine, just a question about rice syrup. Is there any difference between rice malt syrup and rice syrup?
