It's virtually impossible to go wrong with this recipe. Just take your time and you'll end up with a tray of 15 amazing tasting raw chocolates!

Ingredients:

• 60-70g Raw Cacao Butter
• 50g Raw Cacao Powder
• 1-3 tbsp Sweet Freedom
• 1-2 drops Rose Otto Essential Oil

Method

1. Place a clean bowl over a saucepan of hot water (bain marie). Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water & no water goes inside the bowl
2. Grate the cacao butter, add to the bowl & allow to melt slowly. Don’t keep the water boiling, turn the heat off and just give it a quick blast every so often if necessary
3. Once melted, add the cacao powder & stir in thoroughly with a balloon whisk or fork, until it starts to slightly thicken
4. The chocolate should be runny & easy to pour
5. Add 1 tbsp of Sweet Freedom & stir in very thoroughly. It will thicken as you add the Sweet Freedom
6. Taste it and if you prefer it sweeter, add more 1/2 tbsp at a time, mixing thoroughly and tasting after each
7. Add 1 drop of food grade rose otto essential oil and stir well. Its very strong, so taste it before adding a 2nd drop if you want
8. When the mixture suits your taste, pour gently into the mould using a jug or spoon
9. Place it in the fridge to set for a couple of hours (or in the freezer if you can’t wait that long)
