Saw this made on TV this morning - first Nigella recipe I've tried. Family loves it! I added dried cherries and it was a great addition. Will definitely make this again!

I saw Nigella make this on TV today and wanted to try it immediately. My husband is on a low carb diet and loves chocolate so I knew this would be perfect. I reduced the applesauce to make it as low carb as possible and used toasted pine nuts, almond slivers, walnuts and peanuts. I also increased the chocolate. It is an incredibly wonderful, low carb snack.

In our area we could not find peanuts so I sub sliced almonds instead. It was extremly easy and everyone loved it. Added a bit more coco and some pumpkin seeds. The whole family and all visitors can't stop snacking. I will never buy from the store again. I do make sure to mix ingredients very well and stir every 20 minutes while cooking.
