Chocolate Meat Bars

What you will need:

The Meat:
ground meat (cooked until crispy and then dehydrated)
unrefined salt to taste
optional: other meat such as bacon

The Chocolate:
1/4 cup coconut oil (or cocoa butter if you want them to be room temp stable)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup ground erythritol (or swerve or icing sugar)
Optional: 1/4 cup unflavoured protein powder
spices of your choice to taste (chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, ginger)
* You may have to make more if your molds are deep.

How to Prep the Meat:

Step 1: Pre heat oven to 375°F
Step 2: Crumble the ground beef into a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes.
Step 3: Take out of the oven, stir and then bake for another 15 minutes until browned.
Step 4: Take it out again and pour off the oil.
Step 5: Turn the oven down to 250 and dehydrate the meat for another 2 hours.
Step 6: Let cool before adding to your chocolate bar molds.

How to Prep the Chocolate (make this when the meat is room temp and you are ready to pour it into the mold).

Step 1: Put all chocolate ingredients in a pan and melt until smooth.
Step 2: Give it a taste test in case you need to adjust the spices.
Step 3: Pour over the meat. 

Variation 1:
Omit the cocoa for a savoury version (the white bar you see is an example of that). You could add some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour.

Variation 2:
Add some nuts/seeds/dried fruit.
