Raw Chocolate Luxury Treats
The good for you chocolate Makes 20 Chocolates
6 Teaspoons of Coconut Butter/Oil
3 x teaspoons of Cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of Molasses Syrup
1 teaspoon of Manuka honey
(or other set honey)
2/3 heaped tablespoons of puffed quinoa
(from health food store)
2 x dessert spoons of coarsely
ground Cocoa Nibs (from health store)
To make even more healthy add: Optional:1 teaspoon of barley grass powder.
Place coconut butter in a bowl and gradually mix in the cocoa powder and
barley grass into a paste, add molasses and honey and mix well.
(You can heat the coconut butter, this makes the chocolate more solid when set)
Add puffed quinoa to desired consistency, by adding this you are diluting the amount of fats and sugar in each chocolate. Use thin latex gloves when handing the mixture and dust your fingers with cocoa powder to make the balls easier to roll – don’t use too much as it needs to remain sticky to roll in the ground cocoa nibs. When finished store in an air tight container in the fridge.
ENJOY x
