    Making your own raw chocolate is an essential life skill. 

    Probably.

    It’s super easy, ridiculously fun and if you have kids, they’ll totally love it! I borrow a kid (my niece) on occasion to make things with me and making raw chocolate is something she loves.

    The main recipe is really just 3 ingredients! Coconut oil, raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder is fine too), and date honey or maple syrup.

    And then to that you can add all kinds of goodies for extra flavoring. I added some peanut butter, mesquite powder (has a lovely caramel flavor) some vanilla powder and sea salt.

    And then I threw in some gorgeous whole hazelnuts to make this raw chocolate really fabulous!

    You could use any other kind of nut though, or you could throw in puffed rice or dried fruits or whatever you like to find in your chocolate!

    You just whiz up the main chocolate ingredients in a food processor and then pour out into cupcake liners. Then you throw in whatever you want as your filling and place into the fridge or freezer to set.

    I topped mine off with some dried dessicated coconut and cacao nibs and not only did they look gorgeous, but it added a little something something to the flavor too.

    I made quite a big batch of chocolate here, making 12 chocolates of a pretty good size!

    If you’d like to have a smaller batch, you can easily halve the recipe and just make 6 raw chocolate hazelnut cups OR you can pour the chocolate out into a silicon ice tray which results in much smaller bite size chocolates.

    You must keep these in the fridge or freezer. They don’t ever freeze solid, so keeping them in the freezer is totally fine.

    You’ll find that they melt quite quickly against your fingers as you’re eating them, this is not a problem! It’s homemade goodness right here right now!

    Of course these are super rich! So prepare to have your sweet tooth and chocolate cravings very well satisfied!

    I think you’re going to love these raw chocolate hazelnut cups, they’re gloriously smooth, velvety, sweet and a little salty, creamy and wondrously dark chocolatey! With the added crunch and flavor from the hazelnuts, this makes a fabulously satisfying chocolate treat.

      Can I do without the mesquite powder or does this affect the texture and taste?
