Instead of buying the premade superfood chocolate bars at your local health food store, try making your own! This way, you can probably save in the long run, and you’ll be able to make the chocolate with any add ons you want. What’s also great is that you can half this recipe when you make it, and make up different combinations to see which you like best. This is a great present as well!
For this recipe, I just used a Trader Joes’s 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar that I had on hand and was comfortable with (ingredients wise), but feel free to use any chocolate you want, you can even use chocolate chips (so long their its vegan of course). If you use a raw chocolate bar, let me know how it goes so I can try it out. And, if your even fancier, you can even make your own chocolate bar. I haven’t done it yet, but I will hopefully be trying it sometime in the future.
Combinations I Love
Almond & Rosemary // Cranberry, Coconut & Pistachio // Lavender & Almonds // Medjool Date, Chia Seeds, Figs & Cinnamon // Goji Berry, Mulberry, Coconut, Gypsy Blend & Pumpkin Seed
