Midnight Valentine Chocolates

Midnight Valentine Chocolates

Homemade chocolates are easy and fun to make. Oh, and empowering too! Commercial chocolates are often overloaded with trans fats, refined sugar, and poor quality dairy. That’s a good enough reason to make your own, right? In this recipe we’ve combined our cacao paste and cacao butter to make a deliciously smooth and silky finished product. Cacao paste is made by slowly grinding cacao nibs at low temperatures, resulting in a warm and smooth liquid cacao which is then set. This month we’re loving these spooky and glittery Halloween chocolates, using charcoal for the midnight effect and orange as a flavouring. Give them a try and let us know what you think!
