Damiana Rose Chocolate Hearts

These super sexy dark chocolates are good for you AND your lover...

Ingredients

  • 2.5 ounces cacao powder (raw is ideal)
  • 2 ounces cocoa butter
  • 2 ounces butter (dairy)
  • 4-6 tbsp organic sugar or honey
  • 1 tbsp damiana leaf dried
  • 1 tbsp rose petal dried
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add butters, sugar, damiana and rose petals to a heat proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (if using honey, do NOT include honey in this step).  Do not allow the bottom of bowl to touch the water.  Melt the butters and allow the herbs to infuse for about 20 minutes.  
    Pour butters/herb/sugar mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a separate bowl, pressing herbs to squeeze out as much butter as possible.  NOTE: the sugar may not be completely dissolve, but should still pass through sieve with the melted butters.
    Return infused butter to a bowl over the simmering water and add cacao powder and vanilla extract.  If you are using honey, you will want to add it at this step and keep stirring until it blends into mixture.  Adjust sweetness if desired, if using sugar.  Stir until melted, smooth, and shiny.
    Pour into silicone or other prepared molds.  Refrigerate until hardened.  Pop out of molds  These chocolate become somewhat soft at room temperature and should be stored in the refrigerator.
