Cherry Chocolate Treats
Ingredients
- 7 tbsp powdered cacao
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp coconut butter
- 4 tbsp minced dried cherries or cranberries
- 3 tbsp finely chopped almonds
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 drops liquid stevia
- 1/4 tsp powdered cinnamon
- 1/4 ts0 powdered cardamom
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat all ingredients (except cherries and almonds) together on low heat until liquid.
- Pour into candy molds. You can find candy molds at craft stores and cooking supply shops.
- Spoon finely chopped dried cherries or cranberries and almonds into each mold after the chocolate has been poured into the mold. That way you can control how much dried fruit and almonds go into each mold.
- Put into the freezer for one hour.
- Pop out of candy molds and put on serving plate.
Notes
If it is a really hot day, the chocolate should be served just before eating. They hold their form well unless they are outside in the sun or near a sunny window.
I have heart-shaped candy molds, but you can find all different shapes and sizes of candy molds. There are tiny bite-sized molds and large bunny molds for making your own chocolate Easter bunny.
You can also create your own chocolate recipe and use different dried fruits and nuts.
