Notes
Make ahead of time and have on hand for when you need something sweet (and healthy!) or when friends come over.

This raw chocolate is a great preservative-free way to enjoy your favourite treat!

The recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting the honey for maple syrup.

Use any seasonal fruit that you prefer and have access to however berries and chocolate are a particularly wonderful combination!
