These look soo good. I love the combo of maca and chocolate. Guess what I’ll be making for an Easter treat! Thanks for sharing this ?
Delighted to hear that 🙂
These look super amazing, Trinity!
Thank you Becky!
I love maca with chocolate! These are so gorgeous. By the way, I bought your book for my mum and she (and I) LOVE it! She’s a vegetarian who is looking to go vegan but needs a little nudge. As she’s such a spiritual person (especially into her angels) I thought this would be the best way to help her along and I think it’s really helpful. Hugs x
Delighted to know you are a maca fan too Aimee. I find that the raisins in this really balance out the maca.
It warms my heart to know your Mum and you enjoy my Angelicious book… it’s the perfect recipe book for anyone who connects with Angels!
Love x
I’m super excited to try this!! I buy raw maca chocolate bars at $4 for 2 oz bar…. I can make them now!! Thank you!
Fabulous. It’s definitely less expensive to make raw chocolate at home – we just made a big batch here today! Yum 🙂
Thank you for the great idea. My son is diabetic and I was wondering if you think I could substitute Monk Fruit for the coconut sugar? Thank you in advance
I’ve not yet come across monk fruit. If it comes in powdered or granular form then it would definitely worth playing with though.
