  Chocolate roses, chocolate squares, chocolate bark, chocolate drizzle, and of course little chocolate hearts.
  
  Did I mention chocolate too much? Not nearly enough when Valentine’s Day is involved!
  
  Valentine’s Day and chocolate will always go hand in hand. This year I decided to make some decadent chocolate hearts!
  
  Dark rich chocolate can be made with 3 ingredients. It’s magical watching the warm honey and cacao butter blend together with the powdery cacao to create a thick & creamy liquid chocolate.
  
  There’s no limit to creativity when you make your own chocolate delicacies. I used heart-shaped molds that I picked up at a thrift store and small spice bowls to create little chocolate drops. Use whatever you have! Continue reading →

- Dark & Decadent Chocolate Bark-The Perfect Valentine’s Gift
  
  Posted at 3:41 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 11, 2014
  Dark chocolate is definitely one of my favourite indulgences.
  
  Is there anything better than a hot sip of coffee followed by a bite of rich dark chocolate? It immediately melts into a smooth and creamy moment of pure bliss!
  
  With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there is no better time to make some handcrafted chocolate. What’s a more fitting way to say ‘I love you’ than with a gift of homemade Dark & Decadent Chocolate Bark?
  
  I’m delighted to skip the expensive chocolate stores and inflated prices of Valentine’s Day merchandise. I also get to avoid all of the iffy ingredients (refined sugar, preservatives) found in store-bought chocolate.
  
  You can get quite creative and personable with this gift. A classic tin lined with wax paper or parchment paper always makes for a pleasing package.
  
  I’m considering heading to the craft store and picking up some clear gift bags. I’d love to secure the bag closed with some cooking twine and attach a personalized gift tag.
  
  This bark has a mere 3 ingredients for the base. The toppings are optional and customizable to taste.
  - Raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
  - Raw cacao butter
  - Honey

  The Raw cacao chocolate-banana smoothie is full of yum and healthy ingredients including hemp protein powder, raw cacao, chia seeds and fresh fruit. Continue reading →
