Subject: Raw Chocolate Candy


I am so excited about this new recipe that I am sharing it everywhere!
It's the best chocolate candy that I've ever had and it's completely good for you...in fact it's really a superfood. Raw cacao is very healthy for you. Tons of antioxidants and other great stuff.

First find some raw cacao. Nibs work fine if you grind them up in a blender or coffee grinder or you can just buy powder. Most health food stores can order if not in stock. The cheapest place online I've found is http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/cacao_nibs_raw_organic.htm. Their brand from the phillipines is only $14 a pound (normally its around $20). Haven't ordered from them yet but I am going to soon and will post up how it goes.

Once you have your cacao ground, add equal measures of coconut butter, coconut oil and raw almond butter (well preferably raw!). So if you have 1/2 cup of raw cacao add 1/2 cup of the other 3 ingredients.

Blend then add sweetener to taste (I use maple syrup or agave nectar usually).
Then I add salt (I find salt really brings out the flavor in chocolate) and sometimes I add cayenne!

It will be a gooey, fudgey affair, so put it in blobs onto wax paper and put in freezer for 10 minutes or so and it will become manageable (but still messy!)

The result is really really good chocolate with a slight coconut taste. Try it and you'll love it.
