Ingredients

2 tbsp cacao powder
4 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp dairy-free milk
2 tbsp cacao butter
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds oil
1/4 tsp Sea salt
2 tbsp nut butter optional
7-8 macadamia nuts

Method

* If you are using ready cacao butter then no prep required. But if making at home, follow the double-boiler method.

* Place a pan with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Place an oven-safe glass bowl on top and the cacao butter chunks in the bowl. Melt it by continuously whisking it. Set it aside.

* In a mixing bowl, add cacao powder.

* Add maple syrup and vanilla extract.

* Followed by milk. Use milk at room temperature.

* Add cacao butter. If also adding nut butter, then add at this point.

* Next, add the pumpkin seed oil and sea salt.

* Mix it all together till it's smooth using a whisk.

* Roast and roughly chop the macadamia nuts. Add them to this bowl.

* Mix the nuts into the chocolate batter.

* Immediately pour the batter into chocolate bar molds. Ensure that it's spread evenly. Tap a bit to release air bubbles if any.

* Freeze for 2 hours. Then carefully de-mold and enjoy.
