The first time I discovered raw chocolate, I was reading the book Naked Chocolate by David Wolfe. Being the chocoholic that I am, I was super happy to know that I could still eat the occasional chocolate bar (raw bar) and not worry about all the processed garbage found in standard chocolate bars. However, raw chocolate can be pretty pricey. That’s when I was inspired to create my own raw chocolates. This particular recipe is so yummy and rich, one serving is just not enough. Try it for yourself, and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
