Hello Everyone
I'm doing a Raw chocolate treat for the weekend. I got Raw Honey so that I could make the "Chocolate Turtles". These are very sweet and better than grabbing a commercial candy bar. I have tasted different versions of raw Chocolate treats. Raw Chefs would call these the perfect raw food "candy"
For years I couldn't stand honey. It was the love/hate relationship of it being too sweet and not sweet enough. For example the honey and walnut creation - Baklava. I believed it showed how cultural I was and other times I would get a tooth ache. There was a time I heard of People putting honey in their coffee, I thought it was a weird sub-culture. Totally Unheard of !
Now in the present, I am humbled and appreciative of adding Raw Honey to my foods. Raw Honey is one of those natural foods that the body can easily digest. Honey does aid stomach and digestion. It was hard for me to believe that it supports the immune system and good for allergies. I must admit my intake of over the counter allergy medications has decreased .
Note: The other properties of honey: good for healing ulcers, burns , anti-cancer properties, antibiotic, anti fungal and antibacterial. It also soothes a sore throat.
This recipe is great to have as a snack. It replaces that candy bar in back of the refrigerator.

They came out of the dehydrator very sticky and it does spread a bit. Once they cool off they will harden.
