1. Grate 1/2 cup of the cocoa butter. It will melt easier when it’s grated. Measure also 1/2 cup of coconut oil.

2. Place cocoa butter and coconut oil in a water in a small, heat-safe cup or bowl. Stir the oil and butter occasionally until it’s smooth.

3. Measure 1/2 cup cocoa powder.  If you’d like to add any other dry ingredients, measure them out now and stir them together with the cocoa powder.

4. Pour the dry ingredients in the bowl with melted oil and butter. Stir continuously until smooth.

5. If you want to sweeten your chocolate, pour 4-6 tbsp agave nectar into the mix and stir.  If not, skip this step.
