Serving Suggestions and Substitutions

• This is best stored in the fridge in a sealed container. It will definitely soften at room temperature. 
• Substitute honey as a sweetener. I prefer a liquid sweetener to something like granular cane sugar. Stevia is another sugar-free substitution.
• You can substitute coconut oil for the cacao butter but it melts much quicker at room temp and isn't quite as rich.
• Instead of cocoa powder try raw cacao powder from cacao beans.
• Add a teaspoon of vanilla - I prefer pure vanilla extract or even fresh from the bean if you're feeling fancy. The taste of the real vanilla bean is incomparable.
• Anything crunchy is always amazing - nuts for instance like pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, etc. Rice crispies are another great way to add crunch.
• Another fav addition is essential oils like peppermint, orange, or lavender. Be sure to use quality food-grade essential oil products only!
