Our Chocolate Adventure


We really enjoyed making our own Chocolate today. 

It would be easy to go to the shops and spend money on cheap Easter eggs n bunnies but really...how cheap are they?

When you take into consideration the ingredients and resources NOT on the label, the product starts to leave a bad taste in your mouth and a huge imposing and expensive footprint on the earth and your health!

We chose to be the change. To place our vote at the Organic produce shop and so with a few quality ingredients we did exactly that.

Yum!



The bananas were ours. We dehydrated them :) I thought some chocolate coated bananas would make for a yummy treat too.

So here's how we made the chocolate...

1/2 cup Coconut Oil
5 Tbsp Cacao powder
1/4 tsp Cinnamon 
2 Tbspn Coconut Nectar
Dash of Vanilla powder

Mix it, Mould it, Chill it, Enjoy it!



It's quite a rich mix. Xaviar could only eat one piece of choc coated banana and really, that's enough of a treat isn't it? When I think back to the amount of Bunnies and Eggs we would have consumed over the years it's disturbing...

Yay for awareness that allows us to indulge in the finer things and enjoy doing it!

  1. That sounds really good....no coconut nectar, though...sigh....you could make your own eggs, if you had the moulds....I have some 'chocolates' moulds, that I bought for displaying my Crystals when I had lots of little ones. I was watching on channel 10 last evening Zumbo made choc eggs, showed you how to brush the choc in the moulds then when stet, fill them up with yummy filling. Show was The Living Room...thanks for the recipe, Maybe next year...or maybe next week!!
    Love
