Cooking Time

Less than 30 minutes

Serving Size

30 x Christmas 'Chocolates' (small)

Ingredients:

Base 'Chocolate' Ingredients:

130g Bone Marrow Liquid

70g Tallow

30g Honey* (optional)

15ml Raspberry Coulis

Colour Variation

15ml Blueberry or Blackberry Coulis

Recipe Instructions

Place the bone marrow liquid, tallow and honey (if using) in a pan, on low heat.

Keep stirring the mixture until the honey has completely dissolved and the fats have melted.

Pour the contents of the pan through a sieve (and ideally a cheesecloth), into a glass jug.

You now need to wait until the mixture has begun to cool down, to the point of beginning to set again (but still easily mixable).

If you would like your chocolates to have a hint of colour to them, you can now add a little coulis to your base 'chocolate' ingredients. Give this a good stir in.

Pour the mixture into your favourite Christmas moulds and then place them level, in the freezer, to set.

Once the chocolates have set, transfer them from the mould into a glass container with a lid, and keep them in the freezer until you're ready to use the 'chocolates'.

Tips

*Check the taste and if necessary add a further 5g of honey and check again. Simply add 5g increments of honey each time until you are happy with the sweetness.

The more coulis you add to the base ingredients, the more likely that this may not set fully, even in the freezer.

Ideally, purchase your bones and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.

Any honey and fruit, if using, should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.
