Who says nourishing food can’t be fun?

My 4 year old was my little helper in the kitchen today as we made these homemade dark chocolate LEGO chocolates together.

We used dark chocolate, a little coconut oil, chopped jujube, pan toasted cashews, flax seeds, and black sesame seeds. A tiny pinch of Celtic sea salt went into each mold before pouring in the chocolate, then everything was chilled in the freezer until set. They came out delicious and to me taste like little crunch bars!

Each ingredient brings something special:

* 🖤 Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants.
* 🥥 Coconut oil contributes healthy fats and helps create that smooth, melt in your mouth texture. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, coconut is often considered nourishing and moistening, particularly for dryness.
* 🌿 Black sesame seeds are traditionally used in Chinese medicine to help nourish the Liver and Kidneys.
* 🌾 Flax seeds provide fiber and plant based omega 3 fats.
* 🌰 Cashews add healthy fats, minerals, and the perfect crunch.
* ❤️ Jujube has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to help nourish the Blood, support the Spleen, and gently calm the Shen.
* 🧂 A pinch of Celtic sea salt adds trace minerals and perfectly balances the richness of the chocolate.
