Monday Melt Inspiring Chocolate Poster! Cailler Chocolat au Lait

We loved the autumn colors of this Cailler poster. The figure appears to be holding a Cailler bar of chocolate and a purse or bag in one hand, and a hunk of chocolate in the other. With her hat and coat, and the orange colors, we think it’s an autumn scene.

What are cocoa nibs and how can you add them to your daily recipes?

Cocoa nibs are chocolate. Perhaps even the healthiest form of chocolate because they are 100% cocoa. Why? Cocoa nibs are small pieces of cocoa beans with their shells removed. The shell removal happens in a step in the chocolate-making process called “winnowing.”

Did you know that chocolate is a “superfood”? It has one of the highest sources of magnesium of all foods, provides calcium, and has higher antioxidants per gram than goji berries, red wine or pomegranates! Check out this article for more health facts about cacao.

When you enjoy cocoa nibs without added sugar, you’re basically enjoying chocolate in its purest form. You can also enjoy cocoa nibs on top of craft chocolate bars. Check out our list of chocolate bars topped with cocoa nibs and eight ideas for how to use cocoa nibs in your recipes.
