Make your own incredibly delicious (and SUPER easy!) chocolate that is packed with nutrients and antioxidants.
This chocolate is best made using pure maple syrup, as listed, but if you are looking to make it keto-friendly, you can substitute 30 drops of liquid stevia instead.
Adding cacao nibs, freeze-dried fruits, nuts, seeds or coconut is a great way to mix it up and create some fun textures and flavours.

½ cup of cacao powder
