Cooking Instructions
- 1
First melt the cocoa butter either in a bain marie or in the microwave. If microwaving stir every 30 seconds until melted, it should only take a few minutes. Don't boil the butter
- 2
Now gradually add and stir in the cocoa powder
- 3
Add the salt and flavouring, then add the sugar to taste
- 4
To make prettier chocolates that won't melt so easily at room temperature, you need to temper the mixture. Please refer to my tempering link below

- 5
If you're not so worried about that, pour the mixture into a jug so you have better control of the flow
- 6
Now pour into moulds. I kept the plastic that were inside the kids christmas advent calendars. They are a perfect thickness, not too deep. I keep a lot of these type of things!
- 7
Let set for half an hour in the fridge
- 8
Pop out of the moulds and store in a lidded container in a cool, dark place

This recipe makes a darker chocolate. To make a milk chocolate, swap out some of the cocoa powder for powdered milk. For a dairy & soy-free version use powdered rice milk or coconut milk. You can buy both on the Amazon website

I've used sugar substitute in this and it works perfectly with xylitol in the same amount as powdered sugar. Other sweeteners may be different but using xylitol makes this a no sugar diabetic friendly chocolate bar!

This dessert is not for the faint hearted! It's packed full of butter (vegan of course), sugar and yes I did mean 2 tablespoons of cinnamon lol. It's definitely a treat to be enjoyed in moderation but it's so delicious I'm sure you'd be forgiven for having another slice.... -

Vickys Pear & Chocolate Cupcakes, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Pear & Chocolate Cupcakes, GF DF EF SF NF
This was originally my apple cake recipe but I had pears to use before they got over ripe and so I added those instead. They were just as nice, I added a little less cinnamon than I would if I'd used apples so as not to overpower their more delicate flavour. I've included the apple recipe as the last 'direction step' -
