Breaking up the coacoa bar

My friends and I had a gathering a few days ago, and one of the foods that was brought was Reese peanut butter cups. As my friends were enjoying munching on them, and saying they were like chocolate from heaven. I decided that I should make a healthy version of them. I’m not a big fan of them, but whenever there is chocolate and peanut butter, if fills my happy meter to maximum.

Spooning in the chocolate

However, trying to start from scratch with raw chocolate, means that its difficult to make it somewhat sweet. Adding raw sugar didn’t even bloody dissolve even when i put it into  the microwave it still came out as a lumpy very bitter (like a unripe banana) chocolate mix. I decided on adding honey but even after adding 3 tablespoon  of the stuff it didn’t do a bloody thing to the friken chocolate! I guess i gave up then and just put them in the fridge for an hour to cool.

The next stage went rather smoothly (haha get it? since chocolate is smooth when oh never mind!) i just scooped almond butter into the cups and melted the rest of the chocolate. added honey this time which didn’t seem to do jack since it was still friken bitter!! But it took to bitterness of the unripe banana away and made it a lemon. Let it cool for ANOTHER hour.

Tasting the finished product

Finally after a long bitter 2 hours (haha get it bitter! as in chocolate! sorry i’ll stop) it was finally ready and after a few happy bites i believe my happy meter was filled. Despite the bitterness still being there like an old smell it was counter attacked by the almond butter. Next time though use more honey.
