3 egg whites, from large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons chocolate extract
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat
mat (available at most baking shops)
2. In a food processor, pulse sugar substitute, nuts and
bake mix and until finely ground, about 45 seconds. Set

scraping down bowl as necessary.
