Goji Berry Pumpkin Seed Homemade Chocolates

Goji Berry Pumpkin Seed Homemade Chocolates

Homemade goji berry-pumpkin seed chocolates supercharged with adaptogenic herbs that add a healthy touch and taste incredible! Made in one pot, no special equipment (just candy molds) with endless possibilities for herbal add-ins to suit your health goals.

 

This is my favourite homemade chocolate treat recipe. It contains healthy fats, antioxidant rich chocolate, nourishing herbs and enzyme rich honey. It feels so good to know exactly what’s in your treats! Your friends and family can satisfy their sweet carving with high quality ingredients free of artificial sweeteners, fillers and additives.

 

These smooth and creamy chocolates also contain maca - a versatile nutrient-dense adaptogenic herb that helps the body adapt to life stressors. Adaptogens, typically a group of herbs and mushrooms, can easily be added to everything from smoothies to soups to teas and you guessed it - treats!

1 cup cacao butter

1/2 cup honey

1 cup cacao powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon
