Celebrate World Chocolate Day by making your own! Because who doesn’t love chocolate! Making your own chocolate is such a satisfying way to indulge those cravings as well as being a great gift idea for your special humans. There’s a lot of recipes using coconut oil, I respect their creations but it’s just not for me! I do not particularly like coconut though so each to their own!
Make a big batch then use to melt in pretty moulds to look like you’ve gone to a bigger effort than you really have 🙊 you can also add flavours to the chocolate using superfood powders, vanilla essence, coffee and sea salt. I personally love adding lucuma powder for a caramel taste!
