Calling all chocolate lovers! Get ready to explore a truly BEE-licious chocolate spread recipe that opens up a world of many possibilities.
Many people don't realize that chocolate itself isn't the culprit when it comes to unhealthy treats. It's often the abundance of refined sugars and unhealthy fats/oils that tip the scales. But what if you could indulge in an antioxidant-rich spread that delivers that delightful chocolate flavor, naturally sweetened with one of the most beneficial foods on Earth?
This delicious yet highly versatile chocolate recipe can be used in many different ways including as a spread, a topper for your oats, in a smoothie, or as a dip for your favorite snacks like baked potato chips, pretzels, popcorn, and many more. You get to have that chocolate flavor you are craving, with all the magnificent benefits of Manuka honey! Not to mention the benefits of all the other ingredients used.
You may also adjust the ingredient quantities to your liking, as well as adding other ingredients you deem fit. Without further ado, let's get straight into the magic on how we made it:
250g 100MGO Manuka Honey (excellent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant)
3 Tablespoons of organic Cacao Powder (excellent antioxidant)
1/2 Teaspoon of Ceylon Cinnamon (excellent antioxidant)
1/4 Teaspoon of salt
1/2 Teaspoon of food grade organic Vanilla Extract
**So far this can be used as a basic recipe**
1/3 cup of roasted Hazelnuts blended into a paste (great source of healthy fats and antioxidants)
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly and you are done! This may not taste exactly like the chocolate spreads you are used to, however it is far more healthy and maintains a great chocolate flavor/essence.
You can take this recipe even further and do a 1:1 mimic of your favorite chocolate spread recipe and replace the sugar with Manuka honey. Please use an ethically sourced Palm Oil that is not processed.
Share with your chocolate loving friends and family, and let us know how you enjoyed using it, and if you added any other ingredients that took it to the next level!
Enjoy :)
