I love love love this cacao chocolate! This is my second time buying this particular cacao chocolate from this company! I actually received this second purchase at a discount in exchange for an honest review so I'll give you all of the details so that you know what you're getting and some great ways to use it before buying, which I highly recommend!
This is a very finely ground all natural cacao powder, so upon opening make sure it has settled for a moment otherwise it will produce a DELICIOUS smelling cloud that will dust your counter! Not so much that you have a bad experience and seriously minimal clean up but just a tip so you know what to expect. There are no additives so it is bitter to the taste but a little sugar (Like this awesome organic, no calorie stevia
Organic Enzo Stevia Powder 100% All Natural 0 Calories 320 Times Sweeter Than Sugar Extract
) and it tastes like milk chocolate with more benefits than dark chocolate! I've used this for making chocolate cake (rich, moist, and delicious!), chocolate frosting (YUM!), chocolate and orange & chocolate and mint chapsticks ( a super treat that smoothes and conditions your lips and glides effortlessly while tasting great) adding this mixed with cornstarch or arrowroot powder makes a great light weight facial bronzer that smells amazing and with the right amounts can be used on skin colors from porcelain to those with a deep chocolate color, you can also add a little golden mica for a Sunkist ed bronzer. I've also used it to make body butter for Christmas time and in the spring/summer I use this to make body bronzer that is literally amazing and restoring! Those who have sampled and purchased my products rave about the chocolate variations and this cacao chocolate is my secret weapon! To make the bronzer which is my hottest seller, you just need Jojoba oil (Great non-porous clogging moisturizer), this cacao powder (skin conditioner, and repairer that also gives the color and added the benefits directly to your body and you can get the hormone balance benefits without the calories by adding to you skin) , melted shea butter (deep conditioner) with just a little beeswax(lotion stabilizer and protection for your skin), vitamin E (moisturizer and preservative) red raspberry seed (for spf 15) peppermint (keeps it light feeling and cleanses pores) and carrot seed (repairs skin) essential oils. I listed these according to amounts. Play around with amounts until you get a blend that is right for you and don't worry if it appears very dark it lightens as you rub in leaving you with a nice golden tan glow. This cacao is such a healthy form of chocolate that you can feel great about treating yourself with it whether you bake with it, put it on your face or skin or lips you will recieve so many benefits that you will feel amazingly pampered and balanced!
