Raw Chocolate Making

If you've ever felt a little naughty when indulging in chocolate, this recipe will help you realize that high-quality chocolate and cacao are, in fact, a fantastic, healthy addition to your diet.

Raw cacao offers amazing health benefits for your entire body! Some days you just need to find your bliss -- cacao is one of the healthiest foods you can consume. Cacao contains the mood improver, anandamide -- known as the bliss molecule - which creates a feeling of euphoria. Plus it's loaded with theobromine, found to halt coughs better than codeine or commercial cough suppressants!
