Where did I find it?
Why do I like it?
The taste is outstanding, very rich and melt-in-your mouth. If you use organic, raw ingredients, this chocolate treat is elevated to a higher level of nutrition and is still a sinful treat. They are quite sweet, so a little goes a long way.
Any recipe notes or tweaks?
I use raw, organic cacao - never cocoa powder as it is too processed and impure. For the oil I use refined coconut oil for the neutral flavor as I don't want the chocolate to have any coconut taste. I use organic maple syrup for the sweetener. I have made it with both grade B and grade A and the feedback is that most people prefer the flavor when I use the grade A syrup.
I have made these with almond butter topped with chopped almonds, sun butter topped with chopped sunflower seeds and tahini topped with sesame seeds.
To be a little different, I found triangular shaped silicone molds to make these (if you want to get them, click here).
Lastly, I use more precise measurements of chocolate and nut butter - see the link below to get my revised recipe and print it out.
