If you’re a chocolate lover, but want a healthier and yummier concoction, this recipe is for you!
CHOCOLATE NAKAYUMMIES
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup gently melted coconut oil
Another 1/2 cup gently melted coconut oil or (preferably) cacao butter*
Scant 1/2 cup raw honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more to taste) ~ optional
1/2 cup carob powder
1/2 cup cacao powder
PREPARATION:
1. Mix all ingredients into melted oil in bowl. Work the ingredients to be sure they are well integrated and there are no clumps of carob or cacoa.
2. Scoop rounded spoonfuls into mini muffin or candy cups. Be sure to get some honey in each scoop so that it doesn’t all sink to the bottom.
3. Freeze for an hour or until candies are hardened.
4. Serve these candies directly from the freezer.
*This is the butter or oil extracted from the chocolate bean. You can usually find it in the raw food section of your health food store in bags. It smells deliciously like white chocolate, as that is where white chocolate originally came from! If you cannot find the cacao butter, the coconut oil works just fine. That option will tend to melt a little more quickly than those that use both oils.
