Happy Easter everyone!
I hope it is safe, joyous and delicious for all.
For me I love Easter and the wonderful thing is you can enjoy and celebrate all things chocolate without gain 3 kilo's, truly you can! Easter, to me is about family and friends, good food, a celebartion and of course, chocolate.
But if your going to enjoy some delicious chocolate why not make it beautiful home-made your body will love and you wont have to run off for several weeks!
On the Sunshine Coast we also have the delight of the Easter weekend Kenilworth Cheese Festival complete with a kids "cheese hunt" as apposed to an egg hunt, cheese rolling ( a lot of fun!), cheese factory taste testing, wine taste testing and numerous gourmet and interesting stalls to delight. a pleasant way to spend Easter Sunday and a savoury break!

Nutra Organics Superfood Choccy Fudge My tweaked version is:
1 cup coconut oil, runny room temperature
1 cup organic rice malt syrup (I often use less as we don't like it too sweet)
6 tablespoons cacao powder
2 heaped tablespoons Nutra Organics Super Greens Plus Reds (oh yeah all that goodness!)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
*1/2 teaspoon pink himalayn salt
*1/2 teaspoon pink himalayn salt
*1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
*1/2 cup sunflower seeds
*1/2 organic raisins
*1/2 cup walnuts
*1/2 cup whatever I feel like adding, could be dried figs, prunes, macadamia's, peppita seeds etc
Sooo yum!
I mix the coconut oil and rice malt, then add cacao and greens powder and salt, then paste, then mix all well.
pop in a lined tray and put in the fridge until set, remove, slice, return and store to fridge, putting on a high shelf otherwise your kids will slowly but surely shorten your supply when you are not looking!
If you are REALLY desperate for a choccy fix, like need right now and I "may" have done this, you can set it super fast in the freezer hehehe!
