These homemade raw chocolate treats are free from gluten/grains, dairy and refined sugar.
To make the chocolate I use a good quality coconut oil that’s unrefined, raw, cold-pressed and organic and sweetened naturally with coconut nectar. I genuinely love their organic range and the Coconut Magic approach to processing to retain purity and nutritional value.
