RAW HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Cacao powder

3/4 cup Cacao butter

1/2 cup Honey

2 cups combining: nuts, seeds, cacao nibs, dried fruit of your choice. (I used a combination of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashew nuts, cacao nibs, goji berries, and raisins.)

 

METHOD

1.  Melt cacao butter and honey slowly.  Place the ingredients in a glass bowl and then put the glass bowl in a bigger bowl of warm / hot water (but not too hot!).  It will take about 15 minutes to melt into a liquid slowly.

2.  Add melted cacao butter, honey, and cacao powder into a food processor and blend until smooth.

3.  Pour chocolate mixture into a bowl containing the mixture of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.  Mix until the chocolate covers all the nuts, seeds, and fruit.  Pour the yummy chocolate mixture into a paper lined slice tin (or you could use silicon moulds if you would like small chocolates).

4.  Place into the refrigerator for an hour to set.  Enjoy!! 

Note: You could use maple syrup, coconut nectar, stevia, or agave nectar instead of honey as the sweetener.
