Easy Peasy Chocolate Turtles

I typically make this with raw cacao but I was cleaning out my pantry and found some leftover boxes of baking chocolate. Not thoroughly raw, but they'll do. Also, this recipe is strictly based upon your likes - add more maple syrup if you like it sweeter, try mixing up your dried fruit, or make it like a trail mix turtle. There's no way you can mess it up. Add up the solid ingredients to the liquid so that it maintains a batter consistency and then you're done. 

1 package baking chocolate 
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 Tablespoon vanilla 

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate, oil and maple syrup.  

Taste it so that it's as sweet as you want it, then add vanilla. 

Add ins (the ones I used, but you can choose your own):
Cashews, hemp seeds, raisins, sliced almonds. 

Also, shredded coconut would be amazing.

Add your "add in's" to the pot and just stir to mix. Pour into silicone food-safe molds and refrigerate. You can also put the batter in an 8x8 and cut like fudge, or use cupcake liners. Enjoy!
