Instructions
- Chop the cacao butter into fine pieces to measure.

- Place the cacao butter in a heat proof bowl, and place it directly over the boiling water, but not touching it.
- Stir for 1-2 minutes until it begins to melt. At this point, make sure that no water or liquid gets in to the chocolate as it can cause the texture to get mealy!
- Whisk in the coconut oil and honey until melted
- Add the cacao powder and vanilla. Mix until evenly blended.
- Remove the bowl from the heat.
- Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes or until the chocolate is firm enough to handle. Don’t let it get too firm.
- Set up individual plates of whatever optional toppings you are using
- After it has chilled, scoop out balls about the size of a tablespoon from the bowl.
- Roll them between your palms to form smooth balls.
- Roll them onto the toppings to coat lightly
- Place them on a parchment lined tray then place the tray back in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or in a cool dry place for 1 week.
