Ani Phyo's raw food chocolates for Maroon 5 Halloween

I’m serving up raw vegan chocolate to Maroon 5 tonight at their annual Halloween Bash. So cool, most of the band is vegan. This healthy chocolate is super easy to make, is super healthy, packed with antioxidants to fight free radicals and aging, and keeps us looking gorgeous. No gobblins here! 

Ani’s Raw Vegan Chocolate

  • 1 cup cacao butter, shaved
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup mesquite powder
  • 2 Tablespoons maca powder
  • 2 Tablespoons agave, to taste

Begin my placing shaved butter into a bowl. Place that bowl into another larger bowl filled with hot water. Set aside to melt into liquid. 

Next, add cacao, mesquite, maca, and agave. Stir well. You can even use a Personal Blender to mix well. Transfer into a squeeze bottle, and fill candy molds with chocolate.

Freeze to firm up. Will keep at room temperature.

I just shot 3 webisodes for the new VegNews Magazine website, launching mid Aug. Stay tuned for more info. One of the recipes I’ll show you how to make is my easy chocolates. Of course, they are vegan and packed with beautifying antioxidants to keep us looking and feeling great.
vegan chocolates
Chocolate Candies
1 cup cacao butter, shaved
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup mesquite powder

Start by melting your cacao butter by placing the container into a larger bowl of hot water. Once it is liquid, add remaining ingredients, and stir to mix well. Pour into 2 teaspoon sized candy moulds using a squeeze bottle. Place in freezer to cool. Once solid, about 5 minutes, your chocolates are ready to enjoy. Does not need refrigeration.
