Can I substitute the 1 1/2 cups shaved cocoa butter with an organic green and black chocolate bar? Or are there any other alternatives?

Thank you. Planning on making this for my boyfriend’s birthday.

From Russell: Hi Stephanie, cacao butter is very different from a chocolate bar. It’s essentially the raw fat from the cacao bean, which is white in colour, and can be bought from many places online. Just search for ‘cacao’ butter not ‘cocoa’ butter. Hope that helps.

This looks absolutely decadent! Raw food is amazing isn’t it? Can the carob powder be subsituted for cacao powder? Unfortunately, we’re not big fans of carob. :( Thanks.

From Russell: Hi Heidi, it can be substituted or simply left out.

That looks ridiculously good! I can’t wait to make it!

Russell, I think you really need to open a raw restaurant!

Thank you thank you!!! Today was a hard day to be raw. I needed a sweet reason to stick with it.

Hi Diane,

Yes, I’ve now changed that to read “coconut oil/butter”.

It’s the same thing, just depends on the air temp as to whether it’s oil or butter.

Aloha Trixi,

You could add a little bit more cacao butter and maybe some more agave, and put it in the fridge.

Should make something resembling white chocolate.

Hi Sonja,

I would imagine macs will work. I also know that brazil nut butter will work.

Hi Heidi,

Thanks! :-)

Hi Gorb,

Yes, you can sub cashew butter; exactly the same amount will work.
