Cherry Hazelnut Chocolates

One of my favorite shakes to make is a creamy cherry shake, so the other day I was quite interested in cherry and chocolate – who wouldn’t be? 🙂

I also love chocolate and nuts when I eat chocolate and once you have good raw chocolate, it’s hard to go back to any other kind.  I thought I would create a cherry hazelnut chocolate delight – in theory it sounded good, but it didn’t stay solid enough to eat with you hands so then I thought lets mix it in with the Raw Chocolate Mouse and oh my – chocolate party was happening in my mouth let me tell you!

Since it was all raw, vegan and loaded with superfoods, there was no guilt – I had it for breakfast – not something I do often but boy was it good!

Enjoy!

Cherry Hazelnut Chocolates

–  3/4 cup Cacao Butter

–  ¼ cup Raw Cacao Powder

–  1 tbsp Coconut Oil

–  1 tsp Vanilla

–  ¼ cup Honey

–  ½ cup chopped Hazelnuts

–  ½ cup chopped Cherries

Melt the Cacao Butter and Coconut Oil in a double boiler over low heat.

Once melted add all ingredients except the Hazelnuts and Cherries and stir well.

Once mixed well, stir in Cherries and Hazelnuts.

Pour into a square glass baking dish.

This will need to be kept in the fridge as it will melt easily especially with the cheeries – juice.

Harder to eat on it’s own but amazing mixed into other things – tasty and pretty healthy food – if you are going to eat chocolate – go for raw!

 

Enjoy and please feel free to share this!
