Raw Chocolates

Have been quite eager to make these tasty treats since I got back from Glastonbury, there my new favourite foody find since peanut butter..and it takes something special to take over my love for the peanut butter!
I finally managed to get the ingredients together and set to making them yesterday afternoon, although the ingredients are quite expensive, they will last you a while and they're super easy to make, and well worth it. They're good to make for a special treat for every once in a while too..for the little special occasions.

Here are the ingredients...


80g cacao butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
4tbsp cacao powder
3-4tbsp mayple syrup (or agave syrup)



melt the cacao butter and coconut oil in a small glass or heat proof bowl over a pan of boiling water. In a separate bowl, put in the cacao powder, then add the melter cacao butter and add the mayple syrup. I also added some dessicated coconut and 2tsp of hemp seeds, you can try adding dried fruits and nuts to the mix too.


Then transfer the mix into chocolate moulds...


..and I had a little mix left to pop into these tiny silicone bun cases..


The chocolate starts to set quite quickly, I popped the moulds and cases in the fridge for half an hour and they were done and ready to eat, and oh my gosh! They are soooooo good! And very satisfying too, it doesn't leave you feeling with the craving for wanting more, and they give you an amazing natural feel good buzz, releasing those lovely little endorphins!



Mr. Chick enjoyed them too!..
