Let’s get whisking.
Here’s what all you need
• 1/2 cup Umanac Organic Coconut Oil (melted until liquid gold)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (chocolate fantasies begin here)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or organic honey (to sweeten the deal)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (a bit of flair).
• A pinch of sea salt is optional, but who doesn't enjoy a combination of sweetness and salt?
Add-ins
• Chopped nuts (because crunchy is the new sexy)
• Dried fruits, such as cranberries, raisins, or your preferred tropical blend
• A pinch of chilli flakes (for those who enjoy it hot!)
Step-by-step Recipe
Melt and stir: In a bowl, mix together the honey/maple syrup, cocoa powder, and melted coconut oil until smooth, similar to a pick-up line.

Customize: Add the add-ons of your choice. This is your chocolate kingdom, so go crazy!
Pour and chill: Pour the mixture onto a lined tray or silicone mould. Place it in the freezer for roughly twenty minutes. (Yes, you will never have spent twenty minutes as long as this.)
Break and Enjoy: Once set, cut into pieces and eat. Warning: Sharing might be difficult.
Why is this recipe a game changer?
This organic coconut oil not only holds the chocolate together but also alters it. The oil's natural richness complements the cocoa, resulting in a chocolate that is smoother, creamier, and oh-so delectable. It's also a guilt-free treat that will benefit both your taste buds and your health. Don't forget that this wonder oil isn't only for food. Give yourself a spa day when you've finished showing off your chocolate-making prowess to your friends. Utilise the remaining oil as a body lotion or hair mask. Ultimately, you also deserve some TLC!
