Raw Spiced Chocolate Drops

Want to try the healthiest and most melt in the mouth chocolate you have ever eaten? Try this! The raw movement has been taking off and you can now buy raw pre-made chocolate in most health food shops and organic cafes. However it is so easy to make yourself and nothing beats the pride and satisfaction of making something from scratch yourself.  I must admit that this recipe comes with a warning - these ingredients are EXPENSIVE! However once you have these superior quality ingredients you can make it again and try other yummy raw chocolate recipes! 

I also think raw cocoa butter would make for a much better, healthier, more nourishing, skin healing and rejuvenating body and face cream than anything else on the market (and if you look at it like that is more than likely cheaper than all of those highly processed products).


This recipe was inspired by the Choc Chic which has a lot of great info about making your own raw chocolate recipes at home. To this recipe I also added a pinch of dried chilli and a pinch of cinnamon. Instead of agave nectar I used organic maple syrup.

Why raw? Raw cocoa contains over 300 nutritional compounds and contains essential minerals including magnesium. It has twice as many antioxidants as regular heated cocoa.
