3/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup agave nectar
1 cup raw cacao powder
*Optional: 1/3 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
1. If coconut oil is hard/solid place it oil in a bowl. Then place bowl inside a BIGGER bowl that is filled with hot water so that it will melt. Don't mix them together, though! You just want to liquify the pure coconut oil for use in this raw chocolates recipe.
2. Mix all raw chocolates recipe ingredients together in a blender or with a whisk until smooth.
3. Place chocolate mixture in chocolate molds to be set in the freezer or pour into a small glass baking dish to set in the fridge until set.
4. If not using molds, then cut into bars instead.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
This simple raw chocolates recipe and photo was contributed by my good friend Ashley Kent. Please visit her and like her Raw and Radiant Facebook page for raw love and more simple, raw recipes like this raw chocolates recipe!
Ashley's tip for an even better raw chocolates recipe:
"You can also add in chopped almonds, pecans, coconuts, raisins or which ever else your heart desires. My favorite add in is almond butter blended with a little salt, honey, and vanilla. Just make sure to pour chocolate halfway in molds, then add almond butter mixture, then fill the rest of mold with chocolate(should look something like a Reese's cup."
Doesn't this raw chocolate recipe sound easy and fabulous? Love it! And what a perfect way to keep instant sugar-fixes on hand for those emergency moments. Thank you, Ashley, for this delicious, simple raw chocolates recipe. Enjoy!

You can Candice but it would be a more chewy type of chocolate.

I've made this loads but use Maple Syrup instead of Agave as I've heard Agave is just as bad as High Fructose Corn Syrup :-0

You also can use coconut nectar, it's low glycemic. Taste just as good.

Mine also separated into UN-flavored oil on top with all the chocolate/honey goodness on the bottom. I even stirred into the individual molds after I poured, but didn't help. I just couldn't get it to mix well, even in the pot. Did I heat it up too much? Or do I just need to go directly in the freezer so it doesn't have time to separate? Thanks!
