Category:  Snack, about 20 min

Ingredients:

o   1 cup cocoa butter

o   1 cup cocoa powder

o   ½ cup honey (to taste)

o   1 tsp vanilla

o   Pinch of salt

 

 

Instructions:

1.     Melt the cocoa butter in a double boiler.

2.     Remove from heat and add cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.

3.     When it is about the same amount of thickness as the honey, stir the honey in.

4.     Make sure that all of the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.  Do not let any water get in your mixture.

5.     Pour the chocolate into your desired containers.

6.     You can harden at room temperature or in the fridge.

 

 

 

Notes:

You can vary the flavor any way that works for you.  I usually use a large glass measuring cup to melt the cocoa butter (set it in a sauce pan) and then use the measuring cup to mix the other ingredients in – this makes it easy to pour out the final product and reduces dishes.  Molds are fun, but often I’ll just use a silicon loaf pan.  This chocolate will have a honey flavor to it, so consider that when experimenting with other flavor additions.
