Mulu Raw Chocolate Buttons ingredients: raw cacao butter, raw agave nectar, raw cacao powder, sunflower lecithin, ground vanilla, (cocoa solids minimum 58%)
I absolutely love the simplicity of just five ingredients in MULU products. Five best ingredients in the world of chocolate making and Mulu picked them all and married them in a way I love to enjoy my chocolate.
But there is so much more to these bars. The packaging is just gorgeous- my boyfriend Elliot being in marketing taught me to appreciate the right fonts and colours for specific brands- I have NOTHING to criticise Mulu for! The square shape of their bars also adds to the enjoyment experience, because not only is it already different by being raw and vegan, but Mulu is not trying to be anything like their non vegan conventional chocolate counterpart. Also you can break them up into little squares and have a whole plate of mini chocolates to serve at dinner parties. So many possibilities!
When choosing my favourite, logically I would have to go for the Dark with Cacao nibs- it does after all have it all- the smoothness of a chocolate bar, the added crunch of texture and the richness of cacao, but I'm going for Silk! This bar really hit the spot for me on my constant quest for creamy, 'milky', indulgent chocolate!

RECIPE SUGGESTION:
NO DEHYDRATOR JUMBO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
NO DEHYDRATOR JUMBO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
2 packets MULU's raw chocolate buttons
1 cup cashews
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
3 Tbsp coconut butter/oil
10 drops natural vanilla extract
1/4 tsp himalayan sea salt
Process the cashews in a food processor until broken down
Add the remaining ingredients apart from chocolate buttons and process until well combined
Lay out a teflex sheet or another non stick sheet/tray and divide up the mixture into five equal portions onto it
Form balls from each part of the mixture and flatten them into pancakes
Use your hands or a soft spatular to smooth out the edges of each cookie
Gently press in the chocolate buttons, slightly tilted so they can set in the 'dough' [Note I chopped some buttons into halves]
Transfer to the fridge to set for an hour
Store in the fridge in an airtight container
