Oh. Em. Gee. How lucky we are to have some booja-booja in our lives. Where do I even start? What do I even say? When you are eating this multi multi multi award winning chocolate, not only do you not have any words, nothing else matters to you, nothing in the whole world. No words, nothing matters.
Right, I am ready to speak, I think. I have to start by admitting that I have just recently tried Booja-Booja's truffles, because they are not all 100% raw. They do however have a totally raw variety, like the raspberry and dark ecuadorian chocolates, but the other ten odd flavours are not raw, though they are organic, vegan (dairy free), gluten free and as far as I am concerned- guilt free!
But for a long time now I have been the Number One Fan of Booja-Booja's ice creams! And the ice-creams ARE 100% raw, contain only a few ingredients, all produced at low heat to retain the nutrients and so ridiculously indulgently delicious, they have no doubt made a big contribution in giving a raw food lifestyle the mouth watering name it deserves!
Back to the chocolate... basically I still have no words. They are truly something you must try for yourself. They are unbelievably creamy, totally melt in your mouth, have the most outrageously luxurious rich taste, and then they are... gone.
You would've noticed that over the entire Eleven Days of Raw Chocolate Give-Aways I have been including a recipe suggestion with every prize. This involved getting a company's product/chocolate, adding a few extra ingredients and turning it into a brand new concoction...
Well I couldn't do it this time. I simply could NOT bring myself to changing anything about this piece of heaven. That would just be a crime in my books. So instead I decided to invent a drink that would go perfectly with a truffle of your choice and I couldn't think of a better chocolate companion than... lavender!
Enjoy :)

RECIPE SUGGESTION: Lavender and Vanilla infused coconut milk
1 cup hot water
2 cups coconut milk (not canned! made exactly the same as this Nut Milk, but using coconut meat instead of almonds)
1 vanilla bean, seeds only scrapped
2 Tbsp agave nectar
Put the lavender buds in hot water, cover and leave to infuse for 1-8 hours
Strain the buds and pour the water into the blender
Add all the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend
[This milk drink is lovely warmed, so blend on high for 1 full minute, but if you prefer a cool drink, just add ice]
