Healthy, Easy, Homemade Chocolate Recipe

Here is my much anticipated chocolate recipe for you :)

The great this about this recipe is that it is EASY, and has no refined sugar or E numbers or preservatives, is lactose free and they are SO delicious!

Ingredients: (makes approx. 30 small chocolates)
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil

1/4 cup cacao powder (not cocoa) 

2 tablespoons honey (sub maple syrup to make this vegan)

Extras

Special Equipment:

1 (or 2) silicone molds

Method:

-Melt the coconut oil in a bain marie. Once melted, sift in the cacao powder & mix in honey. 

-Carefully spoon the mixture into a silicone mold. Here if you want to add any extras, feel free - a dollop of peanut butter, a sprinkle of sea salt, you could add coarsely chopped almonds...the world is your oyster!

-Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes until fully set.

-Gently remove the chocolate from the mold when they are set, store in an airtight container in the fridge. 

IMPORTANT! Make sure no water (not even a drop) enters the mixture as it will change the texture. Make sure the bowl & any utensils you use are completely dry, and the silicone mold too. 

ENJOY!
