1. Superfood Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bars

Chocolate love with good for you,
 Superfood Chocolate Fruit & Nut bars.

Once you start making your own raw chocolate there is just so many combinations you can make. One of my favourite is a healthier twist on the classic fruit and nut bars.
Simple. Healthy. Delicious.

Ingredients
1 cup coconut oil, runny room temperature
1 cup organic rice malt syrup  (I often use less as we don't like it too sweet)
6 tablespoons cacao powder
2 heaped tablespoons Nutra Organics Super Greens Plus Reds (oh yeah all that goodness! Optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
*1/2 teaspoon pink himalayn salt 
*1/2 cup peanut or macadamia butter
*1/2 cup sunflower seeds
*1/2 organic raisins
*1/2 cup walnuts
*1/4 sultannas
*1/4 cup macadamias
*1/4 cup goji berries

Now my biggest TIP is you want your coconut oil but for the best consistency when mixing for a smooth chocolate I put mine in a bowl and place in the fridge for about 10 minutes or so until it is just crystallizing around the edges, when it reaches this point it will blend with the other ingredients beautifully with a wooden spoon, no fancy equipment needed.

Mix the coconut oil and rice malt together well.
Then add cacao and greens powder, salt, then the nut paste.
Mix together very well.
Stir in all the nuts, seeds and dried fruit, stir through.
Line a baking tray or dish with baking powder.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the tray, smooth down.
Place in the fridge until set, (usually at least 3 hours depending on the thickness you make it), remove, slice up into chocolate bar shapes on a chopping board, place in a sealed container and store in the fridge ready to eat!
I do recommend putting on a high shelf otherwise your kids will slowly but surely shorten your supply when you are not looking! Haha ;P
If you are REALLY desperate for a choccy fix, (like need right now) and I "may" have done this, you can set it super fast in the freezer hehehe!
