Something a little indulgent, but not so off the rails that you need to implement a new workout routine afterwards? I have just the thing: Easy. Vegan. Chocolate. But no seriously, easy. I’ve been making chocolate for a while now! My first attempt was chocolate bars, which were delicious and made with a mix of cocoa butter and coconut oil. Then I went slightly heavier on my cocoa butter : coconut oil ratio in these Raw Double Chocolate Macaroons. So ridiculously good. And you know what I discovered after all this experimenting? Cocoa butter is king. Here’s why: Cocoa butter melts like a dream;There’s zero coconut flavor;When you add cacao powder, it becomes super velvety and doesn’t separate;Once it sets, it doesn’t melt in your hands (like coconut oil);It just tastes better, creamier, more delicious. Convinced? Good, because you need some cocoa butter in your life. This recipe is simple requiring just 3 primary ingredients, 1 bowl, and less than 30 minutes to prepare! Plus, it’s customizable. I left mine pretty basic, adding only cacao nibs, a hint of vanilla, and a little sea salt. But you could add dried fruit, candied ginger, toasted nuts, toasted coconut…really anything you’re craving. Make this chocolate exactly how you like it! It’s the perfect base for experimenting. So, why make chocolate at home when you can buy it at the store? Let me tell you. Homemade is simply better.It’s naturally sweetened.No suspicious ingredients.Vegan, gluten free, guaranteed.It’s customizable.It’s fun. Trust me, homemade chocolate all the way. I hope you all love this chocolate! It’s: VelvetyCreamyRichSuper chocolateyNaturally sweetenedSimple& Decadent Make this chocolate for Valentine’s Day and beyond.
