Make your own chocolate, say what?? Yes you can! I love knowing what is in my food, and that includes my chocolate. This little treat has no lecithin, dairy, gluten, soy and is actually good for you! Always choose the best quality organic, non gmo raw cacao and extra virgin cacao butter, and you’ll never go back to the store bought gunk filled version!

Instructions
- Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners
- Combine cocoa butter, cacao, honey and salt in small bowl set over medium simmering water or place in top of double boiler and gently melt until smooth.
- Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into muffing liner just to cover bottom in thin layer. Place in freezer or fridge to harden.
- Meanwhile make filling. In small bowl mix all ingredients. If still loose, add a little more arrowroot. Roll into small flat discs and gently lay on set chocolate and spread almost to edge.
- Pour remaining melted chocolate over top (you may need to add back to heat to melt), and tilt pan to cover evenly.
- Refrigerate or freeze until set.
Recipe Notes
You can replace the home made chocolate with a good quality organic dark plain chocolate bar (about 70% cacao) melted. Play around with the nut butters using hazelnut or tahini in lieu of the almond butter. If using tahini, you may want to increase honey by one tablespoon, but always best to taste as you go. Enjoy!
