This recipe uses a basic homemade chocolate that can be used in many ways. Here I’ve teamed it with nuts and coconut for a bit of crunch, and my personal favourite? Roasted hazelnuts. This recipe can get a little messy when chopping it up, but that’s just more crumbs for eating right? This is a great base recipe to tweak, simply add your favourite nuts or seeds, as well as any other ingredients you love! Some ideas are cacao nibs or dried fruit.
