Why it's Low GI

Homemade chocolates from cocoa butter and carob — naturally sweet carob means no sugar and no cocoa needed, and no dairy. A clean treat you can flavour with nuts, spice or raisins.

Method

Tap a step when it's done.

Melt the cocoa butter in a bain-marie or over very low heat.
Stir in the spices.
Off the heat, mix in the carob until the consistency of pourable cream.
Stir through the nuts and raisins and pour into moulds.
Refrigerate until hardened; store in a cool place.
