We have been experimenting in our kitchen, creating healthy and delicious recipes using our amazing Manuka Honey! For baking and cooking, we use a UMF™ Honey such as a 5+ as recipes usually require between 1 tablespoon and a ¼ of a cup of honey.
Manuka Honey gives all baking and cooking an incredible flavour due to its complex caramel undertones and herbaceous notes.
This chocolate is so simple to make but tastes like it took hours and looks beautiful. With no dairy, no gluten, and no refined sugar, it is perfect to bring to friends for dessert or an after-dinner snack as everyone can eat it!
You can purchase our UMF™ 5+ Manuka Honey from our website here, or from Amazon. The remaining ingredients can be purchased from your local supermarket or health foods store.

Method
- Grease a small dish with coconut oil or use baking paper to line the dish.

- Remove from heat when the cacao butter has melted and the texture becomes a silky smooth consistency, it shouldn’t be thick.
- This is where you can get creative. Feel free to add whatever you like to the mixture. You may just want to leave it as is.
For ideas, we added cranberries, chopped walnuts and almonds and cacao nibs to the mixture for a fruit and nut edition. Stir to combine. - Pour into the prepared dish and sprinkle some unsweetened coconut chips on top.
