The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

No equipment required! Which means less dishes to clean, which is always a good thing!

These raw chocolate haystacks are awesome. I like to store them in the fridge for quick sugar fixes. These haystacks are probably one of my top 5 favourite recipes because they are really quick and really good! 

Best served cold, straight-out of the fridge because coconut oil will liquify again once warm. (Note: you can freeze them for longer storage, but they are moist and much better when refrigerated rather than frozen.)

To get the white-coconut effect as seen in the picture, roll your finished haystacks in some additional shredded coconut before freezing.

love this! and even better, my fiance did too! Just curious - why is there salt in it? Can I take it out completely? I halved it when I made it and it tasted awesome! I used himalayan sea salt... is that okay? Amazing straight out of the freezer...

Have just stumbled onto this site via a friend & I'm sooo inspired!
I am in my own with 3 kids (2 diagnosed recently with ADHD & have been looking for simple, basic healthy recipes (few & far between).
These hay stacks were amazing & I've just made the banana cream pie which will no doubt be just as awesome!
Thanks so much! You've just improved our diets, health & my sanity 100% :)

Jacaleen, that is an adorable mental picture :) I know, I love this one cause it doesn't require any special equipment... which means you don't have to wash up much afterwards :) Love a 7mo baby. Soooo cuddly!

I wanted to try this recipe, but my cold pressed coconut oil which is only a few months old has developed a funny smell, & a bit grey looking. Was expensive to buy can i use it? Has always been stored at room temperature. Was I supposed to keep it in the fridge? I didn't think it would go bad this quickly, expiry date is 2014.

Hi Uzzy, now that is interesting. I have never experienced that - generally my coconut oil is good for a really long time, and I do not refrigerate it (I just keep it in my pantry away from sunlight). If you really think it's funky then chuck it, but I am curious to know if you warm it up whether it liquifies normally and the discoloration goes away? Certainly, coco oil does turn white and harden when cool, but then it will go back to normal when warmed

Hi Laura-Jane, I melted the oil it had black slimy bits in it, strained it. Gone white and firm and the discolouration has gone, but that smell is still there. Don't know what those bits where.
I won't use it for cooking. Maybe I'll use it for my dry scalp.

Strange! Best to be safe and not use for cooking, I agree

I had this happen once. Just kept it too long. It wasn't worth keeping. I totally lost my taste for the virgin coconut oil when that happened and I tried to use it in a recipe. I really think it was rancid. Your nose will tell you. I now use the expeller pressed, which if it's a good brand like Tropical Traditions, is still very healthy, though not technically raw.

I have many raw organic cacao beans. Can I crush these into a powder to use the raw cocoa powder? Or is that powder sweetened?

Hi Gina, no, the powder is not sweetened. However, I don't think you will be able to easily grind it properly.
