Sarah's Raw Organic Chocolate Bars


My friend introduced to these little bites of heaven.  This treat is creamy and decadent. You must love coconut to like this recipe.  It is really rich, so a few small pieces can fix any intense chocolate craving.  I haven't made this recipe yet, but I had to share it!  Please enjoy......



Sarah’s Raw Organic Chocolate Bars
This recipe happened by accident. I went to Eating Well Organically, the best natural food market in Waterloo , ON to buy some raw cocao butter to make the bars, but they were sold out. So, Eileen, the owner suggested that I try using raw organic coconut butter instead. The rest is chocolate heaven history!
 
Note: These bars taste like chocolate macaroons, so you need to like coconut to enjoy this flavor.
 
 2 454g jars of raw organic coconut butter(or one 1 jar of coconut butter and one jar of coconut oil)
4 Tbsp raw cocao powder
4 Tbsp carob powder
10 Tbsp raw honey
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
 
Soften the coconut butter by placing the jars in a large bowl of warm water for 30 minutes. Water must cover the whole jar. When soft, pour the coconut butter into a large mixing bowl. Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Pour chocolate batter onto a baking tray lined with saran wrap, or a Teflex sheet. Set in fridge to harden. When hard, let the chocolate sit out for 20 minutes to return to room temperature. Gently place on a large cutting board and cut into bars.  Makes approximately 16 2X6 inch bars

*** you could also put them in mini cupcake holders and give them to other people. (that is if you feel like sharing***
