Super Chocolate Goji Lemon Bar

"This tasty treat is made with raw cacao nibs and goji berries. You can get both these ingredients at most health food stores. I halved the recipe. I also ground up the cacao and goji berries before I put them in the blender. If you can't find cacao butter you can use coconut butter in its place, however, the coconut butter is quite strong in taste and can over-power the taste.

  1. I have not made this recipe but I have made raw chocolate before. A tip for those who don't have a high power blender is to melt the cocoa butter by placing it in a bowl over a pan of hot (but not very hot) water for a while. (So long as the butter isn't above body temp. or something like that it's considered raw). Dry grind the cocoa nibs and goji berries separately, place them in a blender, and with the blades running, pour in the butter and blend till smooth. Alternatively you can mix the berries, nibs and cocoa butter by hand though it will not be as smooth.

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent. In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico. I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music. My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free! We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert. I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not. Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
