Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. > ------------- Leave to all of us food/chocolate junkies to work out ways to improve our " fix " ! If you want to add more ingredients and roll in coconut or nuts or such, I think you will definitely have to use butter instead of butter spray -- when I make them they are pretty powdery -- mostly little " clumps " that I can somewhat press together. My typically method of delivery is the spoon to mouth! Someone had mentioned using unsweetened carob chips - I've looked for nutritional information on those this morning on the Web, but can't seem to find them. I suspect they are pretty high in fat (including saturated fat)... I know, I know.. for all you RNY folks, you don't " worry " about the fat... but, I do! For people unconcerned about fat (true Atkins followers) I would really recommend that you use REAL butter, slightly softened -- then " cream " it (for all you functionally illiterate baking folks that mean mix together until creamy in texture!) with Splenda and cocoa powder. You probably need about a four to one ratio of Splenda to cocoa. Not sure how much butter you would want to use. I'd probably try about 1/3 cup butter, 1 cup Splenda and 1/4 cup cocoa to start out with. If too crumbly, add more butter. If too bitter, add more Splenda. If too buttery, add more Splenda AND cocoa. If too " blah " add more cocoa. Once you get the ratios right, then you can consider adding flavorings if you want to get fancy -- you can find candy making flavorings (rum, caramel, peppermint, etc.) in places like craft stores that sell cake decorating equipment. Of course, all of this sort of defeats the main purpose of the " fix " ... the need for a " quick " chocolate fix while standing in the kitchen, head hanging over the counter. LOL!

Hang head over kitchen counter and snarf down. Repeat as necessary until sanity returns.
