Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cacao butter (1 pound)
- 1 cup raw sugar (or honey)
- 2 cups raw cacao powder
Directions
- Make sure all your utensils and dishes for making this are completely dry.
- Any bit of water that gets into the chocolate will ruin it and the texture will not remain smooth.
- In the bottom of a double boiler bring some water up to just before boiling and turn off heat.
- In the top of double broiler add the cacao butter and stir until completely melted.
- Vigorously whisk in the other ingredients for a good 5 minutes to make sure it comes together (if you don't whisk fast and hard, the sugars will separate from the finished chocolate).
- Pour finished chocolate into desired containers (plastic works well).
- You can use muffin trays to make individual chocolates.
- You can add nuts or raisins if you like.
- Put in the refrigerator or freezer to set.
- When hardened, pack into air tight containers and keep refrigerated to ensure freshness.
