This homemade dark chocolate will satisfy even the most pretentious chocolate lover. It’s prepared using real cacao ingredients, it’s filled with brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds and has a special sweet-bitter taste that you’ll fall in love with.
The true chocolate recipe is based on cacao mass and cacao butter, with a bit of sweetener added (I used coconut sugar). I’ve also included a bit of extra virgin coconut oil to make it extra creamy, as well as vanilla and cinnamon for flavor.
Pro Tip: Feel free to replace pumpkin seeds and brazil nuts with anything you like. Walnuts, pecans or sunflower seeds are all great alternatives. Coconut chips or dried mango slices work just as well. And if you want to make it extra sweet, you can add 1-2 medjool dates (sliced).
