By definition, raw vegan diets consist of unprocessed plant foods that haven’t been heated over 40 degrees C. Using all natural, antioxidant-rich ingredients, these chocolate bars are as pure as they get, and unlike any waxy confectionary you’ve ever had.
Raw Vegan Chocolate Bars from Scratch
1 cup cocoa butter pieces
Pinch fine Himalayan salt
7 tablespoons raw cacao powder
3 tablespoons mesquite powder
2 1/2 tablespoons agave nectar
Dried fruit and nuts, optional
Melt the cocoa butter shavings and salt in a double boiler over low heat. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes. Whisk in the cacao and mesquite powders. Stir in the agave nectar. Transfer the mixture to a blender, and blend on high for about 90 seconds until well emulsified.
If using dried fruit or nuts, put them into a mold and then top with chocolate mixture, otherwise, pour chocolate mixture into molds. If you don’t have molds, you can easily use loaf pans (for thick chocolate bars use a 9×5, for thin chocolate bars, use two 8×4). Freeze immediately.
Let set completely before unmolding and cutting into pieces, about 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Look at that bar with the almonds! My kind of chocolate bar. I shouldn’t be reading your posts first thing in the morning. 😉 Thank you for posting the link as to where we can purchase some of the ingredients. It’s the cocoa butter pieces I’ll be after.
Lee and Kent at Truly Organic Foods are a great resource! Free shipping to Ottawa, too, over 99 dollars, so gather some friends for a purchase. Chances are you’ve met them– I was with them in Ottawa.
Were they across from you and your book signing table? If so, then yes I met them. I believe I bought some coconut jam and maca powder from them. I’ll check out their site – thanks!
Yes! Those are the ones.
