Homemade Chocolate


I know, not the most appetizing photo of chocolate.  I thought I was being all cool by using candy molds I got....something just wasn't working out.  Either way, I promise they are delectable!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
4 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup agave or use NuNatural vanilla stevia drops (10-30 drops. The stevia version is more snap-able)
optional: extracts, cocoa nibs, or other add-ins

note: Dave and I use agave


Directions:
1.  Combine coconut oil with agave or stevia drops.
2.  Stir, then add cocoa powder (and add 3-4 T water or nondairy milk if using stevia.).
3.  Stir stir stir! Stir until it gets thick.
4.  Pour into any flat container (or candy molds or smush between layers of wax paper or in ziploc bags).
5.  Fridge or freeze until solid.



Since we used agave, these never got hard like typical chocolate does.  We made regular chocolate to snack on (and we also put it in some oatmeal chocolate chip pancakes!).  In addition, we made these variations:

Sea Salt
Cinnamon Chili
Cocoa Nibs
Rice Cereal
Coconut
Raw Sugar
Mint (Using mint extract  This was the only one that got mixed in- the other varieties above were just sprinkled on top)
