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
- Candy molds
- Medium Saucepan
- Mixing Spoon
- Whisk
- Cutting board or baking sheet to place molds on
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.
Give this recipe and let me know what you think! Be sure to give it 5 stars in the rating if you like it.
