Chop or grate the cacao butter into small, similar sized pieces. Note that the smaller the cacao butter is grated or chopped, the faster it will melt. Transfer the chopped cacao butter to a small saucepan.

Heat a larger saucepan full of water and bring it to a full boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle boil. Place the saucepan with the cacao butter in the water and hold it with one hand while stirring with the other until melted. If desired, check the temperature of the cacao butter - it should be 115 degrees F or lower.

Remove the cacao butter from the heat and stir in the cacao powder and sweetener (in my case, coconut sugar or pure maple syrup) until well-combined and creamy.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the chocolate molds and allow them to sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to set up slightly. Transfer the chocolate to the refrigerator (keep it flat so that it doesn’t spill and dries evenly) and chill until completely hard.

Store chocolate in a zip lock bag in your refrigerator for up to 3 months!
