Have you used cocoa butter to make SCD candy? It’s very easy and gives candy that smooth and satisfying texture of a chocolate candy.
I love using cocoa butter for special occations. I made this candy for Easter, but you can use any candy molds you like.
What do you need to make SCD Cocoa Butter Candy?
Cocoa Butter Candy Ingredients
- Cacoa butter
- Coconut oil
- Coconut butter aka Coconut Manna
- Honey
- Vanilla
Equipment needed for SCD Cocoa Butter Candy

Tips for making SCD Cocoa Butter Candy
- Heat mixture slowly over low heat. Heating candy too fast can burn it and it gets very hard.
- I like to use a cutting board to place silicone molds on because they are floppy and can spill easily
- Be sure the candy chills for at least two hours because it can lose it’s shape if you remove it from the mold too soon.
