Instructions
- You will need a food grade coin mold to make these candies look like actual coins. You can find these at any local baking/craft store or online. Otherwise, any small circular food grade mold is fine.
- Gather and prep ingredients. Place mold onto a small sheet tray, and set aside.
- You can melt your base for your chocolates two ways; by double broiler or in the microwave. If using a double broiler, fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, Place a glass or metal bowl on top of the pot, large enough to not fall into the water. Add in cocoa butter only if doing SCD or chocolate chips, cocoa butter, and coconut oil when using the cocoa version.
- Whisk continually until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in honey until fully dissolved. If doing SCD also mix in your cashew butter with the honey.
- To microwave, use a glass or microwave safe dish and microwave in 30 second increments. Melt cocoa butter only if doing SCD or chocolate chips, cocoa butter, and coconut oil if doing for the chocolate version. Stir each time before adding another 30 seconds.
- Once smooth and well incorporated, carefully pour the mixture into your molds. Depending on how many molds you have you may have to do this in batches. However, if your chocolate or cocoa butter starts to harden you can place it back over your double boiler or back in the microwave to melt again. Place filled molds in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until set.
- Pop the candies out of the molds, and wrap in gold candy wrappers if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, if stored at room temperature they will become soft.
