Oh, My Stars! Chocolates

I'm still thinking of all that chocolate my friends were eating in Switzerland, so I had to make some for myself. These may not be Swiss chocolates, but they are just the way I like them. Rich, dark and full of superfoods. These little treats pack mulberries, goji berries, hemp seeds, maca powder, chia seeds and lacuma powder. The pictures show both sides of the chocolates. One side is either the goji berries or mulberries. The other side was dusted with chia and hemp seeds. Pretty either way. Now my chocolate craving is satisfied.


 

Oh, My Stars! Chocolates:

1/2 c. Navitas Naturals Cacao Power, softened in dehydrator
1/2 c. Navitas Naturals Cacao Paste, softened in dehydrator
1/2 c. cacao nibs ground in a blender
2 T. agave
1 t. vanilla seeds
1 t. maca powder
1 t. lacuma powder

Blend all ingredients except ground cacao nibs. Fold in the ground nibs to the mixture. The ground nibs give the chocolate a little more crunch.

Additional ingredients:
1/4 c. goji berries
1/4 c. mulberries
2 T. hemp seeds
1 T. chia seeds

In a silicone candy mold or ice cube tray, place a few goji berries or mulberries in the bottom of each mold. Spoon the chocolate into each mold.

Sprinkle chocolates with chia seeds and hemp seeds while still soft. The seeds will set into the chocolate as you harden them in the refrigerator.

When the chocolate has hardened (usually about 30 minutes), pop each candy out of the mold. Voila!
The best homemade chocolate you ever made in 30 minutes. And maybe the best half hour you've ever spent!
