Chocolate Squares, Raw, vegan Gluten Free, Great for the Chocolate Craving.
I was craving Chocolate and I remembered something that I loved at a camp we used to go to. They made these delicious chocolate squares. I wondered if I could recreate them. I opened my cupboard and used the ingredients I had available. I was so excited with the result as I nailed it. I use the dehydrator as I sprout all my nuts and seeds as I want to get optimal nutrition from my food even if it is a sweet. You can use the Oven for the same result. Enzymes are destroyed with High heat, hence the sprouting and dehydration.
Here is the recipe. Hope you enjoy

2 cups walnuts
2 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup melted coconut oil
