magic mineral chocolates
Want to make some magical "chocolates" for someone special these holidays? Super fun to do with the kids but I'll warn ya - also kinda messy. Luckily they're delicious .
Moderate prep. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, nutrient dense.
Makes approx 50 small chocolates.
MAKE THIS RECIPE
▢ 1 cup smooth peanut butter (I like Pic's)
▢ 0.75 cup cacao butter
▢ 0.25 cup blackstrap molasses
▢ 1.5 tablespoon maca powder
▢ 2.5 tablespoons carob powder (or you can use cocoa)
▢ pinch salt
▢ 0.25 teaspoon vanilla essence
▢ Silicon gummy tray/s
▢ 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut (optional)
-
Gently melt cacao butter in a saucepan on a very low heat.
-
Once it's liquid, gently stir in your peanut butter with a rubber/silicon spatula until combined.
-
Add maca, carob, salt, coconut (if using), molasses and vanilla - again stirring gently.
-
It should end up looking a bit like milk chocolate! Turn heat off and have a wee taste (beware as it may be a bit hot).
-
If you're happy with the mixture, you can then start spooning into your silicon gummy trays while still warm (it begins to harden as it cools so best to do quickly).
-
When cool, place in refrigerator until chocolates are hard. Take out of silicon trays and put in glass containers.
-
Can be stored in pantry, but best in fridge or even freezer for when you or the kids need a quick energy hit.
