Method

Grate the cacao butter into a glass bowl that will sit nicely over a small saucepan. Put some boiling water in the saucepan and sit the bowel on top.  There’s no need to keep the pan on the heat – we don’t want to heat the butter any more than necessary to melt it.  It will melt just sitting over the building water.  Once the butter has melted whisk in the maple syrup and then the powders and salt.  Make sure it is whisked together thoroughly as you don’t want the sugar sinking to the bottom.  Then you can add in superfood powders and flavourings etc if you are using them and whisk again.  If you are adding nuts/seeds/buchwheaties/dried fruit it’s nice to put them directly into the moulds then pour your chocolate mixture on top.  You can either transfer the chocolate to a jug and then pour into the moulds or just use a spoon.  Then fill yours moulds (don’t over fill them) put them in the freezer for 20 – 30 mins to set.  Then keep in the fridge.  In the fridge the chocolate will last up to one month (but you’ll have eaten it way before this).  Recipe fills one average mould. So feel free to double or triple the quantities to make more.
