Ingredients

1 cup cacao butter (melted)
1 cup maple sugar granules (ground to fine powder)
¾ cup cacao powder

Recipe Directions

1. Grind the maple sugar to a fine powder and set aside.

2. Melt cacao butter in dehydrator until liquefied.

3. Add cacao powder, powdered maple sugar and stir until completely combined.

4. When I made this, after incorporating the base ingredients, I split the mixture into two bowls: to one I added 3/4 to 1 cup coarsely ground soaked dehydrated almonds, and to the other half I added 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract.

5. Mix ingredients quickly as cacao butter hardens fast. If you find it too stiff to comfortably work with, place mixture back into dehydrator to let it soften again.

6. Pour into candy molds, onto a lined cookie sheet, or onto any other flat surface and smooth to desired thickness. I used the lids of a few of my Lock `n Lock containers to spread the mixture into. They were the perfect depth for me.

7. Cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap and freeze until firm. Enjoy!

Note:

It can also be made into chocolate chips (that are eerily identical to Hershey’s) by dropping the mixture onto a parchment/waxed paper/plastic wrap lined cookie sheet with a pastry bag and fine tip.

Rawererin's Thoughts

By rawererin

This is an excellent, raw, and completely solid chocolate bar. 

Add vanilla and almonds for a Hershey’s Goodbar-esque bar.

Add mint extract for a deliciously smooth minty bars.

Maple syrup/sugar aren't raw, but they do retain their nutrients, and using agave won't get your chocolate as hard
