Happy Valentine's Day!

I treated my 3 boys this morning to heart-shaped raw cacao fudge.  I forgot to take a picture before they devoured their treats but I did get photos of the aftermath on our 10-month-old's sweet little face.  I didn't follow a recipe for these but just threw the following together until it tasted right and seemed about the right consistency.  I would say it was about:
  • 2.5 cups of raw, organic cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons raw, organic coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
I mixed the 3 ingredients in the Vitamix, poured into 9x13 baking dish and stored in freezer for about an hour.  I then cut into heart shapes and wrapped up with twine for a super cute superfood Valentine's Day treat.  I just love creating superfood desserts that feel like a really special treat to our 4-year-old and are actually GOOD for him!
