Homemade Healthy Chocolate + Delicious Filing Ideas. Chocolate molds or chocolate bars made from scratch with high quality ingredients without refined sugar, or dairy.
Melt cacao butter in a double boiler or in a glass mixing bowl set over a small saucepan with 1 inch of water over medium heat.
Once melted, remove from heat and add honey and whisk to combine. When the mixture is completely fluid with no separation, add cacao or cacao powder and vanilla oil/or extract. Whisk thoroughly.
Taste and adjust sweetness if you like.
Pour the chocolate into molds, coat them swirling it around.
Refrigerate while making the chocolate fillings (anything you like).
Remove the mold from the fridge and fill the molds 3/4 full, top with remaining melted dark chocolate, tap mold lightly on counter top to remove air bubbles and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm. Remove chocolates carefully from mold and serve.
Or use a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the chocolate on top. Top with roasted nuts.
Set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Once completely solid, break or cut into bars. These can be kept at room temperature for serving. But for best freshness, store chocolate in an airtight container or freezer bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

Notes
Use cacao butter and powder instead of cocoa. It's less processed and healthier.If you want to use sugar as a sweetener use powdered sugar, otherwise the crystals will not dissolve.For a better flavor roast the nuts on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden brown.
