With Easter approaching quickly, homemade chocolates are a great way to make healthier sweets that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Can also be a fun task to get the kids involved. You don’t need many ingredients and you can change the flavours as much as you want.

Instructions
- Place cacao butter into a small saucepan on low heat to melt.
- Once cacao butter is melted and smooth, add in your preferred sweetener and mix. I prefer coconut syrup as it mixes in really well.
- Remove from heat and add cacao powder and mix until smooth.
- Stir through add ins if using.
- Line a slice tin or plastic container with baking paper and pour the mixture in. If you are using chocolate moulds, grease if required and pour into moulds.
- Place in the freezer for an hour to set.
- Break up into chunks or press out of moulds. Store in fridge or freezer.
Recipe Notes
- You can swap cacao butter for coconut oil. Cacao butter just makes the chocolates a little creamier and I personally find the chocolates store better in the fridge.
- Add less cacao powder if you find it too bitter.
- Alter sweetener depending on taste buds.
- You can also add in nut butter into the mix or any other preferred add ins to flavour your chocolate.
