  1. YUM! This is pretty close to what I buy at Trader Joe's. I used only 1 cup of powdered sugar because I don't like it too sweet and I increased the cocoa to 5 tablespoons because I like it really chocolately. I had to use 3 tablespoons of oil to get it to the consistency I like. I originally tried making it in the blender, but it overheated (it's not even a cheap blender!) and I had to resume grinding in my food processor. Thanks for the recipe! My toast is happy now...
