Peppermint Nut Chocolate Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup cocoa butter, chopped
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/3 cup low FODMAP nuts e.g., peanuts, pecans, walnuts, macadamias, brazil nuts - or a combo! Dry roasted will taste better
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 drop peppermint essential oil
- Pinch of sea salt
Preparation
Add 2 inches of water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then set a medium glass bowl on top, make sure it's not touching the water (this creates a double boiler).
Add chopped cocoa butter and allow it to melt.
Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in maple syrup, cacao powder, vanilla extract and peppermint essential oil until well combined.
Pour the chocolate into silicone molds and top with roasted nuts and a pinch of salt.
Set in the freezer to harden for 30 minutes. Once completely solid, break into pieces and enjoy the BEST guilt-free chocolate you'll ever have!
