Valuable comments , I loved the facts - Does someone know where my business could get ahold of a sample CA FTB 590 form to complete ?

Hi there! This looks really good!! But what is coconut manna and/or butter and where does one buy it? Also, do you think it would work if I added protein powder made from ground pumpkin seeds to balance out the protein/carbohydrate ratio? Thank you! Can't wait to try this.

I am not sure, but assuming, use Cooke squash?

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to have found you. I'm excited to try this one and am happy to spread the word about your site to the autoimmune community who needs to eat Paleo/AIP.

Thanks for what you do! xo

Hi Stacey! Yes, I have used organic canned pumpkin for this recipe. This is a very popular recipe I have created. Be sure to let it completely cool (I leave mine in the fridge overnight) before eating, the flavors come together nicely and it gets a great fudge-like texture. xo
