Chocolate

Pure Chocolate Wafer

Chocolate Mint

This past weekend we got to talking about chocolate and what makes good chocolate.  Peter and I both love our easy homemade raw chocolate so we shared some with Rob and Doug during their Great Victoria Adventure.  I think they're both sold on the idea, as they asked for the recipe.  So, here it is:

Ingredients:

½ cup melted Cacao butter

½ cup melted coconut oil (for firmer chocolate, sub coconut oil with cacao butter)

½ cup maple or blue agave syrup

1 ½ cup cacao powder (cocoa works too)

½ teaspoon vanilla powder (or flavouring)

Preparation:

Melt Cacao butter in a bowl that is placed over a large pot of hot water. Once melted remove from heat and stir in other ingredients .  Put it in the freezer to firm.

Voila, you’re done!

Notes: 

-       Do not get any water in the chocolate mixture or it could separate

-       We pour it over a sheet of parchment paper for thin wafers

-       You can add nuts, jelly beans, or whatever to suit your tastes

-       If you want to get fancy you can make wafers stuffed with mint or peanut butter or coconut or cashew butter or … well, you get the idea.

ENJOY!
