oil like grapeseed) * 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, plus more to taste * 1/4 cup unsweetened, unsulphured dried cherries, chopped (I bought mine at Trader Joe's) * pinch or two of fine Himalayan or sea salt (start

cacao butter (gently melted)
with a pinch of celtic salt, a little extract of vanilla and some raw cashew butter, then freeze in a suitable container before breaking into chunks!!!!! yummy You can make dark chocolate chips even easier by melting pure coconut
oil and stirring in a little vanilla, honey and raw
cacao powder before freezing!!!
