Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes

Equipment

  • stove
  • freezer

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cup chopped cocoa butter
  • 2 tbsp organic coconut oil
  • 1 cup pure cacao (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 big pinch of Maldon sea salt
  • ½ tsp organic vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp cacao nibs (I love Navitas brand)
  • 2 cups toasted hazelnuts* (check notes)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Set up a double boiler. We used a stainless steel bowl over 2 inches of boiling water. The bowl should be bigger than the pot so no risk of splashing water in your chocolate.
  • Add in chopped cacao and coconut oil and let it melt. Stirring occasionally.
  • Once melted, add in cacao using a fine mesh strainer (this helps avoid clumps), and stir to combine.
  • Add in maple syrup, vanilla, sea salt and cacao nibs. Stir stir.
  • Finally, add in your nuts (this can be made with any nut and or dried fruit combo!).
  • Transfer to a parchment lined 8 by 12 baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Transfer to the freezer and let set for a minimum 1 hour but I let mine set for 3 before breaking apart in desired sized chunks.

Notes

*preheat oven to 350 and roast the hazelnuts for 15 min. Keep your eyes on them! Once out of the oven, place on a clean towel and rub the skins off. It’s perfectly fine to still have some skin on too!
