RAW VEGAN CHOCOLATE CANDY RECIPE WITH CACAO MAGIC
We had SO MUCH fun making this super simple and easy to make raw vegan chocolate candy recipe using Cacao Magic Philosophie superfoods, which is NOT your average raw cacao.
It’s filled with good-for-you superfoods such as maca, reishi mushroom and chia seeds in addition to the raw cacao, which provides protein, fiber, magnesium, iron and calcium!
What?! Talk about a healthy way to satisfy a chocolate craving…
Sophie, creator of Philosophie Superfoods, is an admitted chocolate addict (many blender babes are!) and since this raw vegan chocolate candy is SO EASY to make, it’s no wonder she makes it all the time, and puts them into all kinds of super cute candy molds for her kiddos!
Need an easy Easter or Valentine’s Day dessert?
This raw vegan chocolate candy makes the perfect anytime holiday recipe – just put the raw chocolate mixture into a fitting candy mold, freeze it if you’re in a hurry and bring it to your party! You can also just let it set in the fridge.
A high powered blender is not necessary to make this recipe, although it does make it faster AND easier to pour! 😉

RAW CACAO HEALTH BENEFITS AND FUN FACTS
The much touted nutritional benefits or raw cacao range from reducing cataracts to improving heart function to alleviating stress.
The theobromine naturally found in raw cacao is a mild, non-addictive stimulant that some believe can treat depression.
It may cause the brain to produce more of a neurotransmitter called anandamide which would account for the euphoric sensation some feel when indulging in chocolate. (Source: About)
Hello,
Thank you for this recipe! I have some raw chocolate in a brick form from Peru. Can i use this in the recipe? would i just put it in my vitamix or would i need to melt it first?
Hey Kathryn, you would probably want to soften it first for sure. 🙂
