Default Chocolate and Walnuts Squares

Ingredients for 4 persons: 8.8 oz. unsweetened Chocolove baking chocolate (33.3 ECC), 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream (0.4 ECC), 1 tablespoon water, 1 cup shelled crushed walnut halves (7 ECC), 1/2 cup butter, liquid Spenda equivalent to 3.5 oz. sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (0.5 ECC).
Preparation: 20 minutes. Resting time: 12 hours.
Preparation: Melt the butter with the cream and water in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. When the chocolate softens, stir it to get a very smooth consistency. Remove the chocolate from over the pan. Add the butter and the Spenda and mix. Add the walnuts and stir until the dough gets very homogeneous. Pour the mixture into a dish layered with aluminum paper. Even the top of the cake and refrigerate it for at least 12 hours. Turn out the cake of the dish and cut in small squares as in the picture.
Total ECC: 41.2; per person: 10.3 ECC.

Well, no, I'm afraid you're going to have to move
Or maybe not! I use Chocolove because they put quite a lot of bean fiber in their chocolates so their carb counts are low-carb friendly but use other chocolates if you can't find Chocolove. Make sure you adjust the carb counts accordingly though and let me know how it turns out!

Effective Carbohydrate Content: the fiber is deducted from the count to leave only the carbohydrates your system will effectively metabolize.

Forgive me for not understanding. When does the chocolate get softened? Doesn't it melt in a pan? But the pan was full of water?? Please somebody give me the exact setup.

I would love to make this for taking to my family's for Thanksgiving.
