Why is this recipe great? What\u2019s its backstory? <\/h5>\n

This chocolate recipe can be made with few ingredients, yet the taste and
\nvariations make this recipe irresistible for chocolate lovers. It takes very little
\ntime to make so your enjoyment of chocolate can happen soon after starting.
\nThis recipe started with an American friend living in Denmark who was inspired
\nby chocolate from the company \u201cHoney Mama\u2019s\u201d. Honey Mama\u2019s produces
\nchocolate in my hometown of Portland, OR so it holds a special place in my
\nheart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is a simple but delicious chocolate that is soft at room temperature so it
\nis kept in the fridge. While I was visiting my friend in Denmark he wanted to
\nrecreate the delicious dark chocolate bar, so the basis of this recipe began with
\ncacao powder, coconut oil, and honey, topped with sea salt and peanut butter.
\nNow after several variations, I find date syrup best when making the pure dark
\nchocolate as it has a fuller taste than honey. lf additional flavors are added I do
\nprefer to use the honey because it is a less intrusive sweetener and the added
\nflavor can come though.<\/p>\n

As a lifelong chocolate lover, student on a budget, and someone who enjoys
\ndoing things themselves, having this simple chocolate recipe in my back pocket
\nhas been very rewarding.<\/p>\n
