OMG, I'm never buying chocolate bars again

No, I'm not abandoning chocolate. I just found a way in which I much prefer eating it -- raw cacao butter.

All the creamy, chocolaty goodness, none of the bitterness. :)

If I want "eating chocolate," I can always add cacao powder and "reconstruct" it, but I'm quite liking

    I use raw cacao butter in place of coconut oil in my coffee sometimes. I bought it with the intention of making some fat bombs without the coconut oil but I just never got around to it, lol

    That's the one I got, and it's heavenly.

    I made hot chocolate with it last night (some milk, a chunk of it, some cocoa powder, and a pinch of sweetener), and I'm trying out http://www.healthfulpursuit.com/tag/rocket-fuel/ right now, and it's delicious!

    Melt it down with some coconut oil and essential oils and make body butter with it. :)

    Perfect for damage hair too! You can add coconut, jojoba, olive or almond oil with the cocoa butter. Lavender and sandalwood are good choices for hair. Just heat and mix then add to ends of hair about an hour or so before shampooing! Awesome stuff!

    I am so going to do this. Mosquitoes love me and lavender repels them.
