Happy Monday, guys!

Here’s the easiest recipe in the world for delicious raw chocolates. They’re super versatile, too, so just keep the butter-mass 1:1 ratio and then you can add any spices, aromas, seeds, dried fruits etc. Adding puffed cereals makes for really light chocolates (both weight- and calorie-wise) because they take up about 50% of the volume!

Note: in one of the photos you can see coconut sugar but in the recipe I wrote maple syrup. I made multiple tests with different kinds of sweeteners and I can say that you should use a liquid one because solid sugar inexplicably does not melt (maybe I needed to turn it into a syrup first) and results in weird texture and rather ugly-looking chocolates. The taste is fine though, so feel free to use any you’d like! And remember to store them in the fridge.

  1. Melt cacao butter and mass over a double boiler (I use a small bowl placed over a small pot filled with a little bit of water).
  2. When melted, mix in all the other ingredients.
  3. Pour the mix to a mold of your choice. Add a few extra bits of puffed rice to the surface.
  4. Carefully transfer the mold to the refrigerator and let rest and firm up for at least 1 hour.
  5. Store in the fridge as it melts quite easily.
