This Spiced Cocoa Butter is exactly what you need if you’re a chocolate or nut butter fiend! Just like Nutella only much healthier and with a secret ingredient no one will guess, we recommend spreading this cocoa butter thick on your rice crackers, toast or apple segments. It also tastes great in a smoothie with some banana! A Nutribullet makes easy work of this spread, but you can also make it with any blender or food processor.
