I never thought I would eat a chocolate bar again when we went dairy free. I was never much of a chocolate bar fanatic, but every once and a while... a girl needs a little bit chocolate. I was listening to an interesting program on Hay House Radio yesterday and the lady's guest was this guy called the Raw Chocolate Guy. He makes his own raw chocolate candy bars out of Iowa. He talked alot about the benefits of eating raw chocolate. How it is up high on the list of super foods.....lots of antioxidents! I cannot explain the excitement from my family as I told them that I made chocolate bars for dessert.
Chocolate Bars/Bark
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup raw cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
1 tbsp raw honey
Mix together till smooth. Put in molds or spread thin on a parchment lined cookie sheet and put in the freezer for 1/2 hour.
This not only was good, but no joke, may have been the healthiest part of our meal. Not only is cocoa filled with antioxidents, coconut oil is a fabulous way to get some good fat. Not to mention the raw honey...antibacterial, antiviral, and tastes delicious!!!
Maddy has been so inspired by this that she wants to make her own chocolate bars and sell them. She even came up with a name for her "company", it's called Yummo! She has been experimenting with adding different nuts and dried fruits to the chocolate mixture. We are hoping to get the molds soon so she can start selling them at my classes.
