Hi Gegembre. The only two ways I can think of would be to put it in the dehydrator, or to put it in a container and place the container in warm water. Hope this helps!

I remember reading a recipe by some raw chocolateir (maybe Shazzie) that said to melt the chocolate in a bowl of warm water no more than 30 degrees Celsius. There is a specific name given to this melting method, but I cannot recall it.

Use a double boiler. Just put one pot on top of another. Fill the bottom pot with water. Use an extremely low temperature. Cacao butter melts pretty quickly. Heck, it'll start melting in your hand.

And remember to use a raw liqueur or the cacao powder+butter. Nib and bean don't melt.

We made some treats during a party at Elaina Love's. First we melted the cacao butter in a stainless steel mixing bowl set inside another bowl of very hot water. We weren't fussy about the water temperature because we were stirring the butter around until it just turned liquid so it's not like it got overheated and the raw police broke the door down and cited us for going over 115. Then we added the cacao nib powder and other goodies in various batches.

I don't always know where these things come from Rawbin. It just seems to me like people get so locked into strict adherence to a form and being an expert before they even try something that they forget to breathe and have fun. I've been guilty of that and it did not make me happy or bring more love into my life.
BTW, I revisited your page the other day and just wanted to tell you that you're awesome lady.

Watch all three nights online. Some great info was given, but seemed like it was all about getting people to buy more and more products. All I know is that they made a TON of money.
How so?

I irrigate my nose with salt water after almost every shift. I use a little bit of salt with my toothpaste every now and again. My silver fillings are pretty stable and I've noticed a metallic taste in my mouth whenever I use salt so I don't. Clov...
I believe that the body can heal itself if given the support. I'm a nurse in a nursing home and I've seen the body cling to life no matter how much poison is thrown at it.
Sounds ridiculous to me. Anyone actually older and experiencing longevity there? I doubt it. I live out in the country in the general direction of God's fart zone and perhaps that's better than getting caught up in this sort of materialistic stuff...
hi honey,
